Group race/ride question

Zwift Academy
1

Hi,
I planned to complete ZA across 4 weeks, doing 2 of the WOs in the week and then a GR/R at the weekend. So last week, I did WO #1 and #2, then Race #1; this week I have done WO #3 and #4… but only Race #1 is listed again on events for this weekend.

If I do Race #1 again tomorrow, will I be credited as completing the 2nd of my GR/R, bringing me up to 50% total, or will it just be ignored as I’ve already done that particular one?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Never mind, mostly… of course, after posting the above, the group rides and segments popped up on the events list :roll_eyes: :laughing:

I’m still sort of interested (and it may help others to find out) if repeating any of these groups events counts towards completion though, if anyone knows?

Yes. I did Group Ride #1 twice (on different days) and got credited for two separate Group Rides in ZA

Thanks - i was just about to ask the same question. Specifically I missed the timing window for the first batch of group rides and so can i still complete the academy? If I’ve understood the answer in this thread, then i believe the answer is yes? Even though I’ve just done the Champs as my first group ride, i could do that (or one of the other remaining two) twice, to complete/graduate. Is that right? Thanks - apologies for newbie Q.

That is correct, yes. You need to do all 8 workouts and 4 Group Rides to graduate. The Races and the Segment Rides count as Group Rides.

I am short of two group workout/races to complete the academy, but I cannot find any group workout left…

I missed the first ones and the races are too though for me. What should I do ? The only group ride available is France Casse Pattes, but only for A and B group (I’m a D)

Please Help

In ZA, group “B” is not the same as cat B for racing… it includes everyone who is not focused on winning the event :wink: If you check the description, it should say it’s open to all w/kg. Also, as I understand it, you just have to finish these rides… so it doesn’t matter if you’re last and half an hour down on everyone else: if you finish, you pass.

Jon,
So I can do a race in B cat and can also do again a group ride ?

Thanks

I can see ZA group rides, races and segment rides on my event list. Pick any two and do them! I think you can even do the same one twice if it’s available at different times.
