    Tiny Race Series – Results and November 12 Routes (Urukazi week!)

    Eric Schlange
    By Eric Schlange
    November 8, 2022
    30

    This week’s Tiny Races are planned for the new Urukazi map on Zwift’s Makuri Islands world. It’s going to get a little wild as we race unfamiliar roads. Those who do a bit of recon may be rewarded!

    But let’s look at last Saturday’s results first…

    Last Week’s Results

    Overall Winners

    Zone 1 (8am UTC)

    A: Joakim Lisson (POAuto)

    Zone 2 (2pm UTC)

    A: B B (iSetta)
    B: sven svensson (Team 30k)

    This Week’s Routes: Introducing Urukazi!

    All four races this Saturday will be held on new routes in Zwift’s new Urukazi map! Here are shots of some of the finish lines, so you know what to expect:

    Bridges and Boardwalks finish
    Approaching Island Outskirts finish
    Island Outskirts finish
    Approaching Island Hopper finish
    Island Hopper finish
    • Race 1: Bridges and Boardwalks (~5.051km, ends at Shisa Sprint)
      Ride over to the Boardwalk Sprint to pick up your feather, then wind your way up to Urukazi’s highest post – the Shisa Sprint bridge – for the big finish!
      • Powerup: Feather
    • Race 2: Mech Isle Loop (1 Lap, 4km)
      The shortest Makuri Island route makes for a great short race with its climb section and mixture of dirt and paved roads. What bike will you use?
      • Powerup: none
    • Race 3: Island Outskirts (6.2km, end on boardwalk after descent)
      Race from Mech Isle up the other side of the Shisa Sprint climb, but this time we’ll descend back down to the boardwalk for the final sprint. Timing is everything – when will you use the anvil?
      • Powerup: Anvil
    • Race 4: Island Hopper (7.35km, end on bridge atop Mech Isle climb)
      We’ve put our longest race of the day last, just in case the D’s need a bit more time. This one ends at the bridge atop the Mech Isle Loop climb.
      • Powerup: Steamroller

    ZwiftPower Results

    Zwift displays preliminary race results in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, just be patient.)

    Riders will earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week’s series is the rider with the most points across their timezone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each timezone’s results on ZwiftPower:

    • Zone 1 (9am GMT/4am EST/1am PST)
    • Zone 2 (3pm GMT/10am EST/7am PST)
    • Zone 3 (9pm GMT/4pm EST/1pm PST/Sunday 8am AEDT)

    Rules

    Tiny Race rules are simple. Four races, four rules:

    • You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
    • No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not.)
    • Heart rate monitors are required for podium finishers
    • ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed. Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required.

    Join a Chat & Chill Cooldown

    Immediately following each hour’s racing, we’ve scheduled 30-minute “Chat & Chill” events where riders from all categories can spin out their legs together and have some fun chatting about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.

      I was under the impression that Urukazi wouldn’t be released until stages 5/6 of Tour of Makuri Islands on 11/18. Is that not correct?

      Probably released on the 10th November. Because if you load Zwift and click on the Tour of Makuri mission it says stages 5/6 become available from the 10th (I presume for solo completion of the route, the group rides and races on the new roads don’t start until the 18th).

      I think the date that is displayed is in a certain time zone, so for tile zones that are further ahead, it will display as the 10th

      Z3 C grade was such an awesome battle between Steve and myself. In the end it was 5 points that separated us. I was desperately trying to do some maths in the last race while also trying not to completely collapse. Once again great work on the series Eric!

      I gave up and went with – ‘just try and win’. Which I did, but Steve got second. Kudos to him.

      Hey Eric –

      Did the Tiny Races (Z3) last week for the first time – they were awesome!

      My HR monitor didn’t pair though – I wasn’t DQ’d (the unfiltered ZP results note “HR” not
      “DQ”), but I didn’t show up in the totaled results for each team. I wouldn’t have been on the podium – but is that correct? No HR, no place at all in the total rankings?

      Thanks!

      Hmmm… no, that’s not how it should work! I just re-set some ZwiftPower settings and recalculated results. But I still can’t get you to show up… grrrr…

      After spending way too much time caring. It looks like race 2 would be the only one considering changing from an aero bike to a gravel bike/wheels. Would you agree Eric?

      I did the set of races this morning, and i used Gravel, and it was actual more gravel than expected. The front looked like mostly gravel at the top of the climb, and down the other side, but final km is road, and any road bikes still in the front group easily beat the gravel, but i was ahead of 2nd group on the road, which is where i would of been if started on an areo.

      I ended up staying with a road bike. But, knowing the course I pinned the ears back and sat on the front at 400 watts (C grade) until the first gravel section. Pretty sure it worked, lots of riders were dropping 1 at a time. When we hit the climb a few just made it back on but we’re easily dropped again when the gravel ended.

      Looking at results on ZP for this mornings races and i can see a Cat C won race 1 & 2 in the Cat D group and still shows in the results surely they should be DQ’d? .

      FYI….I was listed as 1st on Tiny Race #4 (C) today, but Zwift kicked me out of the race at mile 3, but showed me as finished. Obviously, NOT the winner….

      Similar thing in race #4 in zone 1 in A category must have happened. Event ID 3225443. A time of 6:29 for the race “winner” while everyone else finished in around the 10 minute mark.

      For me, the gravel bike was a bad choice for Race #2 (C). Got dropped immediately (back in the 90’s). Made up some ground on the dirt climb and descent (40), but felt like getting to the climb with the lead group would have been the better decision.

      I did the races for the first time today. Fun – trying to figure when people are going to go for it and can you hang with them. After the first couple I thought gee I’m going to finish in the same place in each race – and that shows at what level you can punch on a hill or not- but got to mix up the finish places a bit so that was fun. Question: do these race use the same zwift cats A – D? or are you using different numbers to select Cat level available? I noticed… Read more »
