The 3R LaGuardia Super Sprint is a short, high-intensity race. Basically, this event is insane.  Being so short, you need to come prepared and by that I mean well warmed up.  The start is one of the most frantic experiences on Zwift as people literally “blast from the blocks” and keep going.  Everyone fights to stay near the front of the group.  You have to be alert and cover every move or the pack will be gone and you will be wonder what happened.  It’s such fun and we recommend giving it a try, at least once.
