Good race Roland! You put in a lot of work on that one!

Well done and a solid effort 👏

Tough course surprisingly hard at the start. You will be in B cat soon. Ride On!!

Looks like a tough race, how did you get the Canada jersey?

I got it by participating in the national championships. But I think you can also get it doing the weekly Cycling Canada rides.

You are strong but you should’ve saved energy for the final sprint

Yeah, I didn't want the group behind to catch so I was trying to push the pace. Would have rather sprinted out of a smaller group.

These races are fun but, people racing out of their category kinda ruins racing.

How can someone race out of category?

There’s a thing called category enforcement, which restricts signing into wrong categories. So if you race as hard as you can, you will automatically be upgraded to the next cat after a while. Ofc there will be a time that for a while you’re at the very top of those power limits. Then there will always be people who just sit in the pack for the races, and push only for key climbs or final sprint and never exceed the cat power limits. But I’d say weight doping is even worse.

They changed the calculations beyond avg watts (don’t know why), but they now use zFTP, zMAP, Vo2Max and pure power calculated over the last 90 days. Maybe they should make the cat avg numbers reflect the change?
