Group workout - out of sync with other riders; loading failures leading to delays?

Mac OSX 11.3.1, latest client with updates (1.12.1 (67629)
Activity ID: 812782959025947568
This morning, I did an group workout; admittedly I joined the ride 20 seconds or so after the start - but along with another 10 or so riders, our intervals started around 1:20 after the main group.

Not sure what’s relevant here:

  1. lots of failing to load assets

Does it take 1 minute to chug it’s way through initialisation before it’s ready for a group event - i.e. should I ALWAYS join group events at least 1 minute prior to rollout?

I personally never wait more the 4 min before joining a group ride. Before the ride start it is like people trying to get into a ball game pushing and shoving and it takes forever. If you get in early you can do it quicker and with less effort.
