But when racing was cancelled during the pandemic, my coach suggested weekly Zwift races to stay sharp. I kept it up until time trials returned, then got back on Zwift in the winter for team time trials before joining Canyon Esports Development in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ddceb3630127f7557c7cdc0e3460d171\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Racing with Canyon changed everything. I became more motivated and started taking it seriously.

Most races kick off at a flat-out pace, and if you&#8217;re not ready, it&#8217;s easy to get dropped in the first few minutes. Some events do settle into a rhythm depending on the course, but you should always expect a hard start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9b7438eae155667e599c6b103aa83692\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The WTRL Zwift Racing Leagues tend to have a more structured and controlled pace compared to open-entry races, especially in the middle sections. That said, the intensity still spikes on climbs, sprints, and key sections, so knowing the route is essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-adbc7daca4ae9bad81b81c194504ab03\" style=\"color:#da8529\">My Top Tips for Zwift Racing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9c0491971011e53909e663b154461a6f\" style=\"font-size:20px\">1.

If the course is hilly, use a lighter frame and shallow wheels. On flatter routes, opt for an aero frame and deep-section wheels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c482f2ce861cbfe0acee78f02aaf2b20\" style=\"font-size:20px\">2.

It helps you react quickly to attacks and stops power surges being smoothed out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-56e55da22aa05276a28b04747c9de084\" style=\"font-size:20px\">4. Power Ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6b4a532b65c55dc96b1754f7d1d8a24d\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Use them wisely. If you get a valuable one and you\u2019re feeling strong, it\u2019s often worth saving it for a critical part of the race like a final sprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ea2eee36d45cff205a53a6c21820500b\" style=\"font-size:20px\">5.

Dig a bit deeper to stay with the front and you\u2019ll benefit from the recovery period that follows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-118548d8ad8f96d2f63081f1b6a242c6\" style=\"font-size:20px\">6.

It\u2019s hard to move through a large bunch, and once gaps open up, they\u2019re difficult to close. Ride close enough to see attacks forming, but far enough in to get a solid draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7d7d7c420d72f9913c823c97161062bc\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Zwift racing is a learning curve, but with a few small adjustments and race experience, you\u2019ll start to see improvements quickly.
