Virtual:
Zwift racing is category based:
· Cat E is open, there are no power limits you are competing against anyone that wants to race.
· Cat D is up to about 2.6W/Kg, it varies a little by race organiser, but you are competing against people of a similar power level, obviously weight impacts climbs and descents, but you need to learn to use what you’ve got to work with.
· Cat C is up to about 3.4W/Kg.
· Cat B is up to about 4.0W/Kg.
· We won’t talk about the lofty heights of Cat A, yet.
I'm expecting that as the nights draw in and it cools down Zwift racing will restart, it's great training, i'm aiming for a short race a week.
