I’m Competitive Again! 💪 Better Numbers… But I Blew the Sprint | Zwift Racing Over 50

After a few tough Zwift races, this one finally felt like a step back in the right direction! 🚴‍♂️💪 Stage 4 of Makuri Madness – Twilight Crit, and for the first time in a while I genuinely felt competitive again. The race stayed together almost all the way to the finish and I was still right there heading into the final stages. My numbers were better, the legs felt better and I felt much more like myself on the bike. Then came the sprint… 🤦‍♂️ A momentary lack of concentration meant I completely missed the crucial move and suddenly found myself going backwards through the pack. 12th place in the end — frustrating considering how well the race had gone. 📊 Race numbers ⚡ Average Power: 205W 🔥 Normalised Power: 220W 🚴 Average: 2.5 W/kg ❤️ Average HR: 148 bpm ❤️ Max HR: 186 bpm 🏁 Finish: 12th The result doesn't really tell the story this time. After struggling recently, simply being able to race with the group and feel competitive again was a big positive. Now I just need to remember to actually sprint at the end! 😂 If you're an older Zwifter trying to stay competitive, improve your fitness or simply enjoy racing, subscribe and follow the journey.
