After the first 6 races i will explain my feelings and thoughts.
This format is delightfully exhausting. It’s amazing and the first time that i feel something like this in Zwift. The Zwift Fondo events were epic and the ZRL races, but i usually rested the previous day and have the luxury to rest the next day.
2. The fatigue is very noticeable. During the 4th and 5th race, i felt the tireness in the legs and the loss of that punch in the sprints.
The use of primes and points per race make the competition more dinamic, but i -as sprinter- won’t stand a chance in last pure climb races.
4. Also, there is a ladder by total time that is great for riders not strong enough for fighting primes. If you can’t participate in a race, you get the time of the slowest rider in your race.
An (orange) jersey for the 1st racer in the league (and his/her) team would be incredible! I hope Zwift can develop this.
Balancing points and race times between various time slots is a challenge and a lot of effort.
Having two distances, one for A/B and one for C/D, is a necessity in such long leagues.
The use of CE is proving to be a success and hopefully Zwift will continue to improve it.
Just finishing 13 consecutive races (with only 1 day rest) in Zwift is epic.
Thank you ZwiftHQ for all the support setting up this wild event.
Wanted to do this event but helping with art galley location moving or bad time for western North America/pacific regions. Did the FRR stages races which are starting back up for the second year post summer zwift slow down with same idea. Some week+ long up to two weeks+ long.
As I have said elsewhere on this forum, this HISP club series was bloody fantastic. Best event on Zwift. Stiff competition and great courses. A personal challenge with 13 races in 14 days. Thanks to all participants (cat C) and a big yell out to the organisers. Let’s do it again !!
Thank you all for a brutal series! I couldn’t do stage 12, but regardless I didn’t stand a chance against @C_Hoelzl who really crushed it throughout the series and took a very well deserved GC win in Category B. His performance on Ven-Top, just to mention one, was brutal and really inspiring to see, especially after the days of racing leading up to that stage. Chapeau Chris!
Personally I was pushed harder than ever and today I discovered that I’m moved into racing in A (Cat Enf) - which has been a goal for me since I started to see strong progress in my 1-8min power in March-April. I’m super happy to see this become a reality, and it’s thanks to consistent hard races in leagues like this one!
Thanks team HISP for a great series!
Edit: and a week later promoted to formal A. Apparently intense suffering like this series also gave real physical improvements
