Zwift Racing League | Innsbruck KOM
2nd OA!!
250W Avg (271 Watts up Innsbruck KOM climb - 24:18)

Hardest and longest I've ever pushed on a bike trainer. Fun to be battling for the lead of the race with another rider. Unfortunately a small group caught us w/ 1k to go and it ended up a group sprint and I had no PU.

*** Upgraded to B Rider as a result of this race! That's the good news. Bad news is I can't race with my team anymore. Gotta hope a ZSUN B team picks me up.

p.s. Having trained Sunday w/ Dale on the Alpe, I had my Trainer Difficulty @ 70%. For this race I went straight to the pen, no regular world riding, and when the race started I realized I was still @ 70% trainer difficulty! Normally I race @ 0%. In the end it was a happy accident cause I really enjoy the trainer initiating the gradient changes instead of me shifting to artificially create the resistance. 150 Zwift Races at 0% trainer difficulty -- what was I thinking??!!??

Happily surprised myself I was able to hold pace with a fast group for the entire ride, and even semi-race the last lap!
