We raced in the volcano tonight, four laps of the clockwise course, with Charlie and I in the B group and Michael racing in the C’s. Both races started out pretty slow, but the B race picked up the pace, with a couple fairly serious attacks early on, which is unusual in a Zwift race. Everything came back together by the end, though, with a field sprint for the finish. I managed 5th, and Charlie was 11th. Michael was in the top half of his field of 15+ starters, but the C fields have been thin on ZwfitPower recently, and he ended up second of only three finishers listed there. Still, you have to take your podiums where you can get them — nice work, Michael!
