*** I think my Wahoo Kickr Gen 1 is reading a bit high before it gets warmed up since moving it to the freezing cold garage. I could throw on my Garmin Vector power pedals and record dual power and find out if this is the case; however my Vector pedals are currently in a moving truck!! I also did some googling and some Kickr Gen 1 users have reported an issue. To be sure I'm going to do a Wahoo firmware update, a Wahoo factory recalibration (I'd done Zwift spin down) and then finally when I get my bike with pedals on Friday, I'll throw them on and check via dual-recording.

So after my Zwift race last night, I was just perusing my ZwiftPower profile when I noticed something that literally made me gasp out loud.  I'm now officially a B Rider!!   

It's the very definition of Bittersweet, for me. 

Bitter because just a month ago I was hanging onto the back of the lead C group for dear life trying not to get dropped, and grabbing a Podium due to my sprint.  Bitter because my overall avg Power is still between 2.9 w/kg and 3.1 w/kg -- which is the very definition of upper C group.  C group classification is anything under 3.19 w/kg.   However, 95% of my 20' power averaged over my last three races is 3.24 w/kg -- which officially qualifies me for B rider classification.  I guess this is a way of weeding out riders who push hard in the beginning of a race with a high w/kg and then sandbag and draft the rest of the race to lower their overall w/kg?  Dunno.    

Sweet because this has been my dream for 57 Zwift races over the course of 22 months -- to become a B rider!!  Even if I had started yesterday's race as a B, I would've finish smack dab MOP 7th out 14 B riders.  I'm okay with being a MOP B rider!!  And now over the next 3 to 4 months the focus will be to drop weight and up my FTP more ... and maybe on a good day I can nab a B Podium!  Wouldn't that be amazing.  Love Zwift Racing.  

And all of this makes me a better cyclist for Triathlon.  Pure Awesomeness.   

super ez run - trying to save legs for my Zwift race after

Didn't need a long WU cause the Run warmed me up

3R Volcano Flat Reverse 50k Race - 4 Laps (C)
AVG 256W/ NP 273
Max Power Sprint 862W *didn't have sprinting legs left at the end!!

This was my best Zwift Race to date. Best AVG Power and Normalized Power by a long shot. I rode the whole race with a B Group. Got the 1st Place in the C Group by over 2 mins (although it was a very small C field of only 5 riders including me). Little did I know, riding with all B's would be foreshadowing of what was to come!!

CD - Z1

nice and ez. Legs felt really good. Finished with the tank still feeling near full - felt like a WU.

Broke :09 seconds (8.67 sec) for the NYC Forward KOM Sprint and hit another PB of 1433 Watts! Really never thought I'd see that kind of number. Next goal is to try and duplicate this is a Sprint finish during a Race.
