    This week seems to be a week of firsts. Our picks include a new Zwifter who quits his first race, an avid Zwifter making a rookie mistake, another new Zwifter tackling a Zwift race, a rider pondering bike choice in a mixed-terrain time trial, and a Zwifter roasting another’s race.

    Quitting My First Ever Zwift Race

    Triathlete Ollie Stevenson tackles his first-ever Zwift race. Not only is it his first race, but it is also a category-A race on the punchy Glasgow Crit Course. How long can he hold on before dropping out?

    I’m an Idiot!! | Zwift Crit Club Race 4

    Matt King of Target 2.5 recently took on a Zwift race. However, midway through the event he makes a terrible mistake that ends up costing him the race.

    First Time Trying Zwift… it was a mistake…

    Lucas Plays on Youtube tries Zwift for the very first time. He begins with a warm-up around the volcano before joining his first race, where he is caught off guard by how quick the category C riders are.

    Did I take the wrong bike? // Zwift TT Club Racing Series

    In the first week of the Zwift TT Club series, Gerben from RidewithGerben races one lap of the Mech Isle Loop course. However, as he looks back on the race, he wonders whether it would have been a better choice to race on a gravel bike rather than a TT bike.

    Sunday Roast | Ollie Moore / Not Tadej Pogacar
