Is it because it is shown as a Group Ride?

Probably, but I made it road race on ZP which used to work on ZR.app. Tim has recently rewritten the whole back-end so not everything works exactly as it used to. It's no big deal though, as going forward I will get James to create me a couple of repeating races for those time slots. And then they will be "official" (but still probably not public calendar).

[Edit to add: It looks like something odd is happening on ZR.app and it's not just our race affected]
[Further edit to add: vELO changes are showing now for both races]

My new Goose Poo HRM seems to have worked well too

Actually got a PB up the Clyde kicker so that was far from a walk in the park!

A few good chases there. You closed a lot of time in the last 500m before the sprint

My PB up the Clyde was a dedicated 1 lap iTT race where all I did was smash the Clyde and bimble the rest. I wanted to get some short power numbers into the system. New Year's day this year. 24s That's not gonna happen very often - particularly not in ZRL this week when we have to do it seven times (ten for you)

Yep. Tim has fixed the issue from yesterday. I boringly finished both races in my 'expected' positions. I was so close to catching Morten in race 1 though.

Race 1 is still showing as "Live Data". Is that because it was so short?

Yeah I think ZP never imports FIT files on races <5 minutes. It's the same if you look at the INOX flash mile sprint from yesterday...

I've done two easyish 30-minute workouts this weekend, not because I'm feeling much better, but because mentally I need to break the cycle of decline into lethargy and inaction. I've been (over)eating to give myself strength and have, by my standards, ballooned to 76kg. The workouts were both a lot harder than they should have been, it was hard work holding 230W, but I think the crud in my lungs is easing and I'll start doing morning workouts again next week.

Got my Lightning socks. Maybe another 18 months to 2 years for the Aero socks

Hopped on a recon race that basically followed this format except for the segments. I thought I'd done it right, turns out it was combined segment times whereas I had a few big efforts on both segments but chilled out for a lot. Oh well.

That course is going to be attritional on Tuesday. Sprint out the gate will drop big numbers

It's going to be wonderfully horrible. I suspect the pack will drop some each lap on the Clyde and eventually they won't be able to get back on.

The start will be chaos, 50 riders at full sprint. lots of red-lining. Only those who can recover before the Kicker will hang on.
My personal aim is to do enough the first 2 laps to hang on to the lead group, then see what happens. No heroics the first 2 laps.
As you say, it's going to be wonderfully horrible

Exactly that. Being in the top 15-20 for laps 1 and 2 and then seeing who's left. If you burn too much too soon you'll get dropped on laps 3-6.
