April 5 Routes – Rollercoaster Tour
This week’s races all feature rollercoaster sections of fast, twisting road. Hold on for dear life and pedal with all you’ve got!
| Race 1: Downtown Titans (6.804km, ends atop Titans Grove KOM Reverse) Start downtown and work our way up to Titans Grove, riding the uphill rollercoaster through the redwood tree and waving hello to Jarvis before attacking the Titans Grove KOM Reverse. Powerup: none |
| Race 2: LaGuardia Loop Reverse (1 lap, 5.3km) A quick lead-in followed by one short loop, this is a fast circuit with a bit of a rise just before the lap banner. Will anyone be brave enough to go long, or will it be left to a pack sprint? Powerup: Draft Boost (2x) |
| Race 3: Rooftop Rendezvous (1 lap, 6.7km) The pack will get stretched and snap up the Rooftop KOM, but it’s the descent afterward, and riders’ sense of timing, which will determine who crosses the finish line first. Powerup: Anvil (1x) |
| Race 4: London Loop (6km, ends in tunnel exiting Underground) The short climb up Northumberland Ave will stretch out the pack and provide a place for climbers to drop some sprinters. Then we’ll dash past Big Ben and over the bridge into pell-mell chaos in the Underground finish! Powerup: Aero Boost (1x) |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format features four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
You earn points based on your finishing position in each race. The overall win goes to whoever earns the most points across all four races.

Tiny Results
FRESH TINY VIDS
ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays the finish order 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, be patient.)
Riders earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week is the rider with the most points across their zone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each zone’s latest results on ZwiftPower:
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week ~10% of our racers get disqualified. Don’t let that be you! Three simple 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 – you will be DQ from race 4.)
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
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 their legs together and chat about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.

Questions or Comments
Post below!
What do the jerseys mean? I had what looked like a polkadot jersey after winning one race, and another rider had a green jersey the next race.
Unrelated to these races, polka dot means you have the best time on a KOM and the green jersey is best time through a sprint segment.
aha, Burrito. Easy skip this week.
I really enjoy these Saturday Tiny Races even though I find myself with the bottom finishers. I see them as a real test of VO2 max and recovery training. I generally do okay on the first two but see a noticeable decline on the next two. Climbs are not my strong point but am getting better.
Side note, wish there was way to keep the hill profile up all the time in the updated HUD display. Good option choice similar to whether or not to see you PR ghost.
100% agree – have been wanting a way to keep the climb profile up for all of a climb, not just the steep section since it first came out – surely there is little enough roads for Zwift to even manually place triggers for this (so it only appears for climbs)
Though I can see that I would be difficult to define ‘climb’ and that’s where the option to always have it on (like you mentioned).
i didnt sign up for all 4 Tiny Races in advance so after 1st race (🥈) my race score changed i got bumped from E to D, rode my best segment times and finished 26 in race 2 was dropped back to E. The group in E worked great together in race 3 & 4 and gave us experience at front. It was fun except for the race 2 experience
You can always ‘bump up’ but not down. I’m bottom of the D category for the Tiny Races, and that is where I will stay for all four races. It is best to sign up for all four prior to the first race.
Also, The ZRS is 260-400 for the Tiny Races instead of the typical 180-350 for other competitive events.
And, I have found that you can just move to the second race once the screen prompts you to do so and the race data will be automatically recorded for you.
I finally did a set of these. Good fun! But probably not the best idea to do it after another race the prior hour, haha.
I do have a question, though. Is there a way to track the standings after each race? Or too tricky to code?
Regardless, thanks for continuing to put these together!
Do you mean the overall standings for the week (aka the League)? Accumulating after each race? No … the overall League results aren’t released until a while after the 4th race.
Yep. Just so I had a rough idea who I needed to beat and by how many positions.
It’s all good though…just bury yourself every race and see how it all shakes out 😁
Interesting how the zone league tables on zwiftpower not only show you position by pen, but also appears to show who perhaps did very well in a pen but finished with a Racing Score applicable to a higher pen.
Is it just me, or does there seem to be more Tiny Racers taking part who aren’t registered on zwiftpower, so we have no idea how their weight and height might be changing race to race?
Rule One states right up front that you must be registered with Zwiftpower so I don’t know how you would be seeing racers who ride the event and then don’t show up on ZP.
This week is gonna be a blood bath for me ‘cuz ZRS V2 bumped me into Cat B in the Tiny races. I got my ass handed to me a coupla weeks ago in Cat C so I don’t know how this is gonna be any better…
When you are in the start pen, from the companion app, you can check Zwifter’s nearby and click each name if you wish regardless of Zwiftpower registration.

IMO, I think that even private users ZRS, age and and category should be transparent. That doesn’t interfere with their privacy. Keeping yourself private is only to guard against followers without your permission.
Everything Bagel two weeks in a row?
Eric,
Third tiny race has a Ghost (Power-up?) near the finish. It can be used within the last 300 meters of the finish line for this race?
It cannot. No ghosts within 400m of the finish.
ZRS managed to screw Zwift racing even more! I just did Cat D Tiny Races (7th Dec) and there were guys doing 3.4Wkg at 134 bpm. One guy won CAT D Race 2 with 4.5 Wkg and 148 bpm, basically chilling in Zone 2! Competition is great but… Cat B’s racing in Cat D??
It’ll take a little while for the legacy of overly high or low performances under the original ZRS to disappear. The latest version of seed score is a much stronger foundation, hopefully the results based movement can now do the rest.
I’m going to DQ the rider in question, because he was clearly in the wrong category (current ZRS is 514…)
That’s great but really unfortunate that his type of thing may happen again until ZRS settles everyone’s scores.
I think it’s already settled better than it was before, thanks to reprocessing. The bigger problem was that people were able to sign up before scores were recomputed, so there were people in races they were no longer qualified to race. That won’t happen this week.
We’ll find out soon enough how settled things are, I guess!
Eric, I’ve been DQed from race 4 today in zone 2 7th Dec, even though I did all four races.
Could you correct that at some point, please? Think I was 6th after removal of the true “snipers.”
Just reprocessed results, which should fix it. Sometimes ZwiftPower hiccups and swaps activity IDs, which usually leads to someone legit getting a DQ instead of the offender. It’s an odd bug.
how do you find out why you were disqualified?
Basically the only reason people are DQd is for race sniping – see rules above.
How did Rasmus Bertelsen win Zone 2 on December 7th :P? He didn’t even compete?
Oops. That should have said Nov 30.
Eric,
Has anyone notice that the Race times for the 7 am PST Tiny Races in Zwiftpower compared to actual race time are on minute off? One minute, 60 seconds was added to each riders finish time on all four races.
Needs investigating.
Looking specifically at the 7 am PST times for the ‘D’ category but other ZRS categories may be impacted as well.
That’s just how ZwiftPower does it. They add the start delay to your finish time, which messes everything up basically. 😜
Ok you may have prevented me from going crazy. Looking at the results on ZP I see numerous C and D riders with better finishing times than me (in A) but much lower power of course. So do I add 1 minute to the B times, 2 to the C times, etc. to do a comparison of finishing times across categories? I apologize if this has been answered many times before.
Zwift let me into that group, why you need to DQ me. dont start this back up. if you do i will jump into the 4th race.
Zwift let me into that group, why you need to DQ me. dont start this back up. if you do i will jump into the 4th race.
I agree with the DQ. You know your ZRS before the race and therefore you should pick you category accordingly. It is all part of governing one’s self honorably.
Why are riders without HR monitors allowed to place in a race? According to the rules, HR monitors are required.
They aren’t. As I understand it, if you’re seeing a rider without HR data in ZwiftPower, it’s because they’ve hidden it for privacy purposes. That’s why the heart icon is greyed out.
Thanks Eric for the clarification and appreciate your weekly updates re Zwift.
I do enjoy Tiny Races😉
another good mix.

The courses this week (Dec 14th) were magnifique – something for the sprinters, puncheurs and climbers. ZRS is still questionable in Cat D but seemed a bit better. Loved the routes this week though.
Question on why I was DQ’d on the E category on the last race, 4of 4? I’m only mid pack at best?? This was the series that starts at 8am MTN time in U.S. And dang the E group seems harder than the D of last season! Thanks
Fixed. Had to reprocess results… the ol’ ZwiftPower bug.
Thank you!! I was just happy finishing!
Today was my first time racing the Tiny Races. This is weird, at the time of registration I had a ZRS of 258 , so I signed up for the recommended category 0-260 for the 4 races…I ranked well in the 4 races but I got DQed CAT at the last race (the very short one). In that uphill section, I maintained a good effort because it was short and was in the leading pack. I noticed that after the races, my ZRS jumped to 291. What did I do wrong? Even if the ZRS changes after one or 2… Read more »
See top of this post for current rules about racing in the wrong cat. Basically, you’re responsible for racing in the correct category, and I give people a bit of leeway if they end up having a score above their category range. You bumped up to 274 in race 3, then 297 in race 4 thanks to a new power best. You’re clearly not an E rider… hence the DQ, so you aren’t able to take a podium away from a legit E rider. I understand it’s frustrating that Zwift let you sign up, but… it’s also frustrating for legit… Read more »
Man I was thinking that Zwifts v3 update would make the Tiny Races slightly less brutal than they have been over the last few weeks, but boy was I wrong. With the old category system I was an above-average C who could place top-10 in punchy Tiny Races. With the new ZRS brackets putting me in the D-equivalent tier, I figured it would be easier, but that was definitely not the case yesterday! Best result was about 20th, with 23 riders in the first race averaging at least 3.7w/kg over the 10 minute race. They would generally be B’s on… Read more »
I was DQ’d from Z3 race 4 cat D. Finished in 50th out of 53, averaging 306watts /2.4wkg.
Any ideas why? Not sure if that’s a zwift thing or a tiny races DQ?
Just keen to understand why.
I just reprocessed Z3 results, which should remove your DQ. Good ol’ ZwiftPower activity ID bug.
Thank you for the update.
DQ for being too heavy to climb a hill did seem harsh 😆
I wonder when Eric plans to apply the new rules to Zones 2 and 3 for this week? There seem to be 4 riders across these zones who had scores exceeding the thresholds stated above.
I thought I’d already done it. Feel free to send details to eric@zwiftinsider.com if I missed someone though.
Eric,
What is the reasoning for the ZRS changes for the ‘Tiny Races” compared to other events.
My category as an example:
Fresh Outta 24: 180-350
Tiny Races: 260-400
Last week there were ‘E’ riders that topped all categories.
Because I think my custom category ranges better balance the groups of tiny racers. And I like the idea of using custom ranges, instead of all races using the same ones! Mixes up who you race against.
https://youtu.be/Ze7cYq1Ku2A look what zwift did here take all the kom’s with bot. lock at 800 watts.
Have you ever considered DQing those who are abusing your wonderful events to sandbag their ZRS so they can win all week?
I have not. Not sure there’s any way I could figure out to spot those folks.
I really enjoy the tiny race series—they’re excellent for improving short-duration power (under 15 minutes). I feel these competitive intervals are far more motivating and effective than traditional individual or noncompetitive group intervals, as the group dynamic pushes us to dig deeper. Thank you Zwift Insider for putting the series on…it is the training/racing highlight of my week. Another series I love is the Zwift TT series, which progressively increases duration over the month. This provides an opportunity to focus on different power durations. Being “alone” really puts focus on mental strength but my powers are less than usually achieved… Read more »
Hey Eric, have you ever thought about creating the 4th time zone – 3am UTC/11pm EDT/8pm PDT)?
Hi Eric & the Z.I. team! For Dec 28, the tiny races showing in Zwift Companion App Events don’t match the super fun sounding courses shown above. Thought you’d want to know 🙂 The C.A. Events is shows a repeat of last week’s courses.
I’m assuming Zwift’s events team will get the events updated soon. A little slow the holidays, methinks.
Not certain, but I think pen join eligibility checks are now active since 23rd December.
‘Until Zwift begins enforcing which pen you can enter at race time, we may disqualify flagrant offenders who sandbag by racing in a group lower than their current Zwift Racing Score would allow.’
Does this mean the winner of D this week is sandbagging?
Or is this a fair result.
Just asking as if you look at results this rider is way too good for this race
Or is it just a freak set of results?
What rider are you talking about, specifically? Currently the #1 D overall in Zone 2 seems legit. But maybe you’re looking at something else…
Rider id 3035167
Just seems figures are so high all of a sudden, and way higher than this racing score cat
Anyway superb series, and thanks so much for everything you do
Without people like yourself Zwift and the racing scene would be nothing
Wishing you a very Happy New Year for 2025
That rider is well below the 400 cutoff for the category, so… no DQ.
Here is a stream to the 4 races in Zone 2 by the way
7th, 2nd, 4th, 3rd

Race 3 for Jan 4 isn’t appearing in the companion app for signup.
Encountered a ‘quirk’ of racing score calculations in today’s series – after the 2nd race my score improved to 541 so I had to go up to the higher group…and then somehow Zwift decided to reduce my score to 530 after the 4th race… So I end up worse than how I started the day, despite my race rankings improving in all 4 events?!? Ah well, it matters not a jot 🤓
Update – score has now increased to 542, without riding!
ZRS is a weird beast sometimes. I did the Jan18 races….my ZRS dropped by about 10 points but my Velo increased by 21!
Hello there, after riding several tiny races at my max power I have been unable to complete a few of them within 15 minutes. Is there any way that whoever designs the races can take into account people like me?
Why isn’t race1 of the tiny race series is n 11 Jan showing on Zwift companion events?
It’s a Companion app bug that pops up sometimes. Maybe try restarting the app? I click this link and find your event: https://www.zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces
Hi, please can you review the 260-400 category from Z1 today? We had a gentleman with a score way above the range that completely dominated
Yeah, definitely just DQ’d him. Not sure how he was even allowed to race when he was so outside of the category, but I’m wondering if he was on an older game version…
Enjoyed today’s races, but that might be because I’m a heavyweight and two of them were mostly downhill! Anyway, as you rarely get people posting videos from the “E” category, I thought I’d post my four rides (with the bits inbetween sped up). https://youtu.be/n5Pb-zrqxHA
Nice one! I typically only post videos here if they include a live cam feed, just because I find those more engaging than a straight game recording.
G’day @Eric Schlange! Just letting you know Pen Enforcement didn’t seem to be working in Z3, not that I care. Just an observation. Unless it has somekind of maring of error? Races were still great!
Interested to know if and how it’s working, since I’m just below the D ZRS and need to make a decision for next week!
*margin
Hello, I wonder why I was disqualified from the race? Any specific reason? Thnx for info.
I don’t see your name on Zwiftpower. Which zone did you race? Link to your profile? And did you skip a race then come back and race a later one of the 4? That’s the common reason for a DQ…
Hello, here is my link to my profile: https://zwiftpower.com/profile.php?z=1355474
You were disqualified because you didn’t race races 1, 2, and 3. You only raced #4. See the rules section above for details… but we also explain this in the text description of all the events.
Hi Eric!
This is a really fun race format, but… unfortunately weekends are a difficult time for me to find time for family reasons.
Can you look in to adding a day during the week? If so, preferably around mid day CET.
Brgds // Peter K
Hi Tommorows 0900 race is not showing in my companion? Cheers Matt
This is a common bug in the Companion app. Try changing your event filters, or joining the Zwift Insider club so you can see all the events under there.
I got scored in races 1-3 but DQ’d for race 4. I guess I did well enough in the first three races (1st, 3rd, 3rd) that I got bumped up for the last race and therefore DQ’d? Is that right?
I livestreamed it for anybody curious.
https://www.youtube.com/live/SVnE8rnxlK8?si=qR05613gfxg0ajUh
Edit: I didn’t see any letter categories, just the new race score so I just picked the one Zwift recommended.
That is correct. Your racing score going into the final race was well outside the upper bound of 540. Zwift is supposed to enforce this when you enter the pens, but didn’t for you, for some reason. Maybe you haven’t updated your Zwift version? Make sure you’re running version 1.81….
Hi all, can someone help me figure out why I was DQ’d on the fourth race today? ZwiftPower – Sarah Nicotero. I’m on ZwiftPower, my HR monitor was good, and I completed all four races. My race score is 106. Thanks for the help!
Looks like this was caused by the ZwiftPower bug that pops up occasionally. I’ve just recomputed the results, so your DQ should go away now. Apologies!
Thank you, Eric! I appreciate you as always!
Hey Eric! Have you ever considered more kit unlocks for Tiny Race achievements, like doing a specific number of races or winning races/GCs? I think it would be really cool and motivating to get those special kits and could help promote the Tiny Series in the community. Don´t know, how hard it would be to track all the statistics to award the kits in an easy way, though.
It’s a cool idea, but I don’t have a special kit I could give away as an unlock. (And I don’t want to put the standard Zwift Insider kit behind a difficult unlock – I want that to be easy.)
where in Zwift power do you find the overall race results for the aggregate of all 4 races.
zone 1 https://zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=1172
zone 2 https://zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=1173
zone 3 https://zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=1174
when i signed up for races 1-4, I followed the recommendation that I should join cat C. races 1-3 were ok then I was DQed at race 4. I understand that I might have been upgraded to cat b at the end of race 3 but that will be unfair for getting DQ for the last race.
Because you entered the final race more than 25 points above the limit for the category. That’s my (sort of arbitrary) cutoff used to determine if someone should get a DQ. Until Zwift fixes their pen enforcement, it’s up to each rider to figure out if they’re well outside the bounds of the category and effectively sandbagging when they enter the race.
It’s not ideal, but doing nothing is unfair to everyone else…
Hi Eric I know the rules but after the 3rd race there was only 5 mins left before the next race. And I signed up for the 4 races days ahead of the event. How was I supposed to check if I cannot join the cat anymore. To make this fair I should have been prevented to go to the race 4 pen if I was not qualified anymore. Or should everyone only be allowed to sign up or join the race only a few minutes prior to the start of the to make sure all is fair.
This scenario is very likely to happen to others too. I just hope that cases like this will be prevented in the future as the short races are fun but brutal and it is really very disappointing to give your best but then get DQed. Anyway I am really a big fan of your work and your role in indoor cycling community. I will be always grateful that we have access to this very valuable Zwift Insider website.
I am just here saying Eric is what makes zwift fun for me. I am not even really competing in the Tiny Race Series, but seeing someone so dedicated to zwift, the community and as nerdy with numbers like me makes it fun to be part of it. I might try to make the Tiny Race Series work for me in the future, cause it was really fun but very hard to do.
Ah, thanks!
So when are the results for the Feb 8th races?
These are crazy short races. But a great opportunity to train and test your VO2Max, especially over the winter. And elevation gain at the end makes the whole thing even more exciting. 😅
The routes on the Zwift sign up pages for the upcoming races on 2-22, all have last week’s event courses listed.
For the zone 2 races Feb 22nd, I registered for all 4 races at 9am (10Am start) and had 313 race point putting me in the D group. I was DQd for the final race because my results from the other 3 races gave me over 350pts. How am I supposed to adjust for this in the middle of the event? I started the event with the correct category and I’d like my 4th race result reinstated! I can’t switch mid event.
Assuming I’m looking at the right person, your score was 351 after race 1, and that was a floor increase which means you can’t drop back down for some time.
It’s only because the zwift pen enforcement isn’t working correctly that you could enter races 2, 3 and 4. You wouldn’t have been able to sign up for them at the time they started.
I entered all the races at one time before race 1, the time in between is too short, under 6 min on avg, to get a points update and know that I was in a new group.
The system is supposed to move you to the higher pen once your score goes above the pen limit. Congratulations, you’re too strong for that race. See how you go against some tougher opponents. And as it’s a floor increase the change would have been visible immediately had you checked. Fair enough that you didn’t, you shouldn’t have to. You’re also not the only person in that race who should have been moved. Unfortunately that pen enforcement isn’t working as advertised, so Eric is left in the unenviable position of having to give out post-race DQ’s to people who entered… Read more »
I was DQd in ZwiftPower from only race 4 in Zone 2 on Feb 22 and have no clue why. I did all 4 races in the same 230-350 ‘D’ category with a race score of around 280, and I’m on a smart trainer with a working HRM. I wasn’t close to the front so it doesn’t really matter but I’m curious if it was something I did that can be avoided in the future.
This should be fixed now… good ol’ ZwiftPower bug.
Thanks Eric!
I cannot seem to find race 4 of 4. I signed up for the first 3 but the last one isn’t showing up. I even filtered to show races only Incase I missed it but still only the first three show…
Companion app bug. Try rebooting it, or looking at the events listed under the Zwift Insider club in Companion.
Ey, I got 1st shared with Mr Greg Abbott in the tiny race on February 22nd, Zone 3 (Men).
https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=4844450
In the overall standings I mean. Both on 970 points.
Correct link:
https://zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=1174
Just updated above, apologies on that. When there’s a points tie, it goes to whoever has the highest race finishes (based on podium positions). You guys tied there as well! So then it goes to a time countback, which means you took 1st place, with a 0.82 second time gap overall on Greg. 😀
Hehe, yay 🤩, thanks for looking into this and correcting! 👍
Thank you for these. I am new and Zwifting on a gym bike with a 30 min. time limit. I thought racing would not be possible because most other races take longer than 30 min. I just want to verify that it is okay to just do Race 1 or Race 1 and 2 without doing all 4. I am not up to the full four races yet.
Yes, you can do just race 1 or race 1 and 2 then skip the rest. Enjoy!
Are racers who finish with a Racing Score 15+ above the pen range after race 4 not getting disqualified any longer? Current league winners for zones 1 and 2 in pen E 1st March ’25 exceed pen E threshold of 230 by 15+, may apply to other zones/pens too. Why isn’t the Racing Score pen exclusion not working for Tiny Races? Companion app is showing score changes almost in real time before the next race starts and these don’t appear to change. Are racers no longer disqualified for not providing heart rate data? Zone 2 pen E winner 1st March… Read more »
I’m DQing if they’re 25+ above the category band (not 15+).
Pen Exclusion will be fixed by Zwift in another update or two. Apparently it’s a client-side score checking timing thing.
HR monitors aren’t required anymore (haven’t been for several weeks).
Yesterday, I couldn’t join the Zwift Games race I had pre-entered on Monday, because my racing score had passed the threshold since then, so it looks like pen enforcement is working now. Does this mean that a rider near the top of their category would now need to enter the Tiny Races in the category above, so they are sure to be able to complete the series?
We’ll see. As far as I know, the bug explained in the comment above yours is still in effect. The problem with the Tiny Races is that the time gap between races is too small. Pen Enforcement works great when races are hours or days away…
Finally dropped to 699 after the latest Zwift Games torture sesh so I will cheerfully be the guinea pig, pre-enter tomorrow’s Zone 2 Tiny Races in Cat B, and see what happens if I get promoted mid-series
Checked my racing score after each event, and I had gone back up to 700 after race 1, 702 after race 2, and 704 after race 3, but I was still able to complete the series in Cat B without getting evicted from the pen
Just FYI, Zone 3 (E) (at least) race 2 ended up on the wrong course today (we stayed on the Richmond course – looked we did the right distance for the Innsbruck course, and head feathers, but were on the wrong side of the world! Not sure people really knew what was going on – didn’t seem like the normal hot start to a tiny race!
The guy that won the Z2 C pen series this morning, Harry, has a racing score 394 AFTER going 1, 2, 3, 1. My score went up from 432 to 450 after going 16, 14, 4, 9. His 1 minute w/kg is the same as my 15 second. His 15 second is 13.20w/kg, nearly twice what mine is.
ZHQ has some ‘splainin’ to to IMHO…
Would love to do tiny races but work Saturdays 😥
Is there an odd difference between the results in Zwift itself and what’s reported on swift power? Race 4 in today’s 3pm (GMT) session shows me as finishing 19th, but the Zwift screenshot on my Strava shows me finishing 10th…
I can understand it being the other way round as not everyone is on Zwift power etc, but this seems oddly odd?
Zwift Power shows me as being DQ’ed from two of the four races. I did all four races with a HRM and a JetBlack Victory. Any clue why I got DQ’ed?
I think it can happen by mistake from time to time and Eric has to sort out some sort of mismatch… Either that, or did you get an upgraded race score between events that posted you into a different category?
I did not get upgraded. So I guess it’s an error.
I love the Tiny Races series. Better than an Vo2 Max workout on Zwift. Thank you for putting them on, it has really helped my 1min and 5min power efforts on longer races.
