Heading Crit City Downtown Dolphin for 4 laps for a 8km grit your teeth race.
This week the Double Crit race has been renamed, and I noticed a couple riders with a Zwift Tick. So keep an eye out for them during the ride.
Came down to a missed early break, so I put in the watts to get a podium position.
This was one of those short and hard 9km races where you are bunched up with the other divisions.
Todays ride saw me hang on with the A grade up till about 1.6km to go. A small uphill, I blinked and next thing you know I’ve been dropped.
I was toast by this time and could see the other B grade rider about 5 seconds behind me. I admit I started to take it easy, and only “Just” made it over the finish line to claim 2nd place.

Didn’t time the draft correctly, and with 800m to go I was accidentally leading. Waited for somebody to catch up, and then made the 400m dash.
Out sprinted, but happy with a 2nd finish.

So very humid inside, so wasn’t the most comfortable indoor ride.

In a planned week of recovery, I am sure putting out some quick burst of watts. Was meant to be taking these group rides easy, but I manage to up my 5min watt game in this ride, and got group dropped which took me almost 10 mins to catch up.
To see some of the highlights of this ride, please feel free to check out my other videos from the night.

I was more prepared for this TT ride compared to my previous efforts in this series. But what I didn’t have this time was fresh legs. It was a total slog for the entire 11 mins of this ride.
Better than sitting on the couch.

The second Crit race of the night, and I wasn’t sure I even had it in me to for this one, as the end of the other crit almost had me spewing.
I rode the pack and kept the watts down, and there were a couple of races I had noticed from the previous race that simple out sprinted me at the end. So this this time, with 1km to go, I thought I will make an early break away and give it a crack.
Keeping my eye on the leaderboard, I held on for dear life and managed top spot with a couple seconds difference.
Double Crit nights are really taxing.
The first of the 2 crit races where the game plan is to hang on to the last 400m and hit the sprint, but I need to read the race more when it comes to that point as there was a slight break which I missed.
Also sprint against a racer hitting 22.2w/kg again is never going to get me any podium results.
I ended up coming 5th, but a 3rd ZwiftPower result.
I always like these 9km Zwift races. But weird thing is I am the only B grade rider in tonight’s ride. So I hang on the the A grade rider until the last 1km where I just don’t have anything left in the legs to have a strong finish.
But a win is a win isn’t it? I’ll that that participation award, thank you!
