Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Makuri Island on the “Electric Loop” course on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a four lap training ride with four sprints an optional mini-race at the end of the ride.
Thanks to Jam for leading the red group today – good job 👍🏻

We started directly at 2,6-2,8 W/kg because the first sprint is a little close to the start.
My main focus on pace was around 200W average. The first two laps we went at around 196W, the third lap at 200W. Most of the last lap was our optional minirace where everybody could go at their own speed.
There are two sprints at each lap. Our sprinters had the opportunity doing each of them twice for getting the green jersey. We got some good numbers, let’s check:

Congrats to B. Wu on the green jerseys and C. Catterson for the ladies 🏆

After the last sprint was done and dusted we had a calm third lap for getting ready for the minirace. During the rest of the third lap we got together again for starting the minirace at the “Alley Sprint” line.
I brought the fence slowly down first to 5sec and than to 2sec. Close to the lap end I went down with the power as well, around 2,6 W/kg.
The racers could easily wait until the GO GO GO for staring the race. The main group raised the power quite a bit towards the finish line. We were close together drafting until the last 600m, one rider went away from the racing group quite early.
Let’s check who got the win:

Congrats to B. Wu 🥇, H. Xu 🥈 and A. Krupy 🥉 on the podium.

Thanks to all for coming and riding with us today.
