By trawling through all of the available "catch up" events I found Climb and Epic races that kinda fit in with what I could achieve....Very annoyingly I couldn't time the climb or epic zwift games stages to align with life and none of the catch up stages are at times I can do them either.
I've calculated that I could have finished somewhere in the top 100 in Cat B too....
but both on the same effing day!
Got up at 4am to be warmed up for a 4:30am start "Climb" race - Smashed it with a 52:01 from the start pens to Alpe finish
A time under 2hrs for the Epic course looked manageable on my current form but about 45 mins in, I mistimed a snack and the lead group decided to have a crack at one of the intermediate sprints for some effing reason and I'm suddenly 17 seconds adrift.
Pack dynamics killed me. They were doing 3-3.5Wkg while I doing 4.5wkg for 10 minutes chasing. Blew up... rode another 45 minutes and pulled the pin...
I can't find any more "epic" stage catch ups. Gutted because after that climb time, I could have snuck into top 20 B grade.
Now looking like I'll be cat enforced into A so might be time to not enter events for 90 days until my ZwiftPower score drops
