I'm waiting for the A+ sandbaggers to get smoked out of the B fields before coming back (assuming ZRS actually does its job...). Good excuse for me to get outside, and if not, then to finish Zwift Academy and be sure to get my ToW stages checked off.
The new format is making for some proper spicy racing, and much more realistic to outdoor racing. There's always going to be someone really strong in the field, and sometimes it's you. Awesome result in that field!
Impressive TSS, You are doing great. One of my race there is a single dominant breakaway guy like this, after the race that guy got upgraded right away with ultra high score so he can no longer join B race. hope it's the same in this case, so you don't feel too bad.
Nice race E! Top 5 in that spicy race. I got dropped on Titans KOm. Now I know why. I wasn’t prepared to go 6w/kg up that! Just brutal. You were right there! 💪
@@DontGetDroppedCycling Just realised that comment didn't sound right. I meant what a fantastic effort considering you're now racing in the CAT higher now
I'm an A rider with a ZRS of 598. I race once a week, always in the highest category, and my score is going down all the time, because I am a 'low A' and don't have much of a sprint. Zwift wants me to race against riders with a 20/5 min w/kg around 1 less than me. (3.4 v 4.4 / 4.2 v 5.2)
For sure your Heart Rate was not cooperating…. Given what I have/had seen in some of your other Races… It just seemed like you could not get it to come back down after a Hard Effort 🤔👍🚴♂️🚴♀️🚴♂️🚴♀️
@@DontGetDroppedCycling I just looked at the percentage graph for 520-690 pen and you are in bottom 30% for 20 minutes w/kg 3.91, you might need to remove the Dont from your @ 😆😆😆

1 and 2 from my race last night got bumped to 690+ so I ain’t mad 🤪

Mmmhmmm add in Prime Time and it’s spicy icy!!!!!
You just have to give it time to settle in and that everyone gets into the right cat 👍👍
I've been saying this for week's despite everyone freaking out 🙃 Erik's just playing the YT algo game on the side here!

Always put that work in!!!!
Tears of joy….Beautiful!
😅
Spicy, spicy. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving my dude.
The boys had a BLAST! Hope you and yours had the same!
Holy Fck man, chapeau, solid effort, glad im still hanging on to 516 zrs, feels hard enough some races…
It's only gonna get spicier!
Cracking effort against a stacked field, Erik! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing more Prime Time races over the Zwift season! 💪 🚲
Just a little bit more as the snow start to fly.
Brilliant E 👏 Top 5 from that field was amazing mate. Bravo. And doing that after 3 days off the bike! 🥵
The Zwift legs are coming back 😁
It’ll only get spicier as the weeks pass by!
this was a super good effort Erik. way to fight in a STACKED field.
🥞
Well, that was a workout! Great job Erik!!!
Prime Time PAIN!
@@DontGetDroppedCycling that's the kind of pain that makes you improve!
Now that was spicy ! brilliant race
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Nice race man
✌🏽
What a fantastic effort considering you're the CAT above. 💪💪

Ahahaha kk regular smiley now 🙂
was having cold sweats just watching that race!! bro you animal!! very strong race! 300 average to 10 min!
Do what you gotta do to survive!
That's what I call a 100% suffer fest!!! With a top 5!! Chapeau
Yeah dunno how I pulled off that sprint for a top 5 but will definitely take it!
Hii Erik, great race again🎉. There is always that one person in the race pushing an extra 1.5W/kg above the average😂

@ 3.7 I say it’s pretty average for a race of 30 min in this category.
Ya that’s standard for Prime Time hiding in the peloton whenever possible 🙃
Damn u raced against my friend! He was second. How small is the world lol
I’ve come to learn the cycling community is TIGHT

It’s still early in the ZwiftSZN and I haven’t been smashing my face in as much as I used to 🤪
@@DontGetDroppedCyclingYou obviously need to spend more time on Sonny’s Wheel 🤔😂👍🚴♂️🚴♀️🚴♂️🚴♀️
You may not have won but you had a good race.
Oh it was fireeeeeee! Full gas up Titans and the pull back after Hilly. Prime Time Zwift just slaps!!!
I don't like this points scoring. I. At bottom of B cat. And I'm now racing against A riders cos they don't race. Messed up
Hopefully more and more improvements are made as more data is generated 🤞🏽
ZRS algorithm is only valid for 10 mins on flat - it does what it's designed to do, despite ability to model multidimensional statistics...
At the end of the day the only ones not liking ZRS are the ones getting dropped 🤭
