I clicked the Column button, but it won’t allow me to select the Age category. I think they should just allow us to automatically enter in the C category if you’re over 50.
Actually I’ll now fall on my sword. The click boxes don’t work too well (for me). I had to have my mouse pointer right in the upper left corner. Now I see an Age column. I can sort on it, but too bad I can’t filter on it
I use the “Age Group” race ranking as a motivator. The
question I have is what defines my age group.
Is it in five year increments? one year?
I believe the increments in ZwiftPower are 10 years, but in some events they break down results on 5 year increments. In the ZHR Masters events, look at the event description to learn how the pens and results work.
So, i am 68. What you are saying is im in the 65-69?
Im à former trithlete, and we look forward to getting older so we dont have to compete with those 55 yr old kids 
Thanks for the response.
Ride On!
This is from an FZR event description but applies to most aged based events - evidently the 5 yr increments are UCI based (according to another Masters event description):
I’d say there isn’t really a standard - the various age-group racing series all seem to use different categories.
One of the best things about turning 50 next year … I get bumped up an age group for my next triathlon! Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still get my a$$ handed to me. I’m more of a “why be slow at 1 sport, when you can be slow at 3 at the same time,” kind of triathlete. But maybe I won’t be quite as far behind, if I’m the young guy in the group.
(Narrator: No, he’ll still be really far behind everyone …)
The age brackets are more relevant as we get older. When I was younger, I didn’t think age brackets were necessary.
At 68 it makes me feel good that I can still compete with a peer group.
You would think that as we get older the competition should get easier. Although the numbers go down, the best athletes are still there 
My strategy is to outlive the competition.
I dunno, I really like finishing ahead of young people. If I’m the top age group finisher in a mixed age race, that’s a virtual win for me. Booya to the 30 year olds. If it never happened perhaps I’d feel differently, but the existing category system makes it happen often enough.
A+: 4.6w/kg and 300w FTP
A: 4w/kg and 250w FTP
B: 3.2w/kg and 200w FTP
C: 2.5w/kg and 150w FTP
This must not be quite accurate, or there must be more to it. I’m looking at a very light junior rider (27 kg) with 90% of 20 minutes figures of 116watts / 4.3wkg.
According to the criteria above, this rider would be D (less than 150w). But ZwiftPower has placed them in C.
Anyone have any more insight?
Could it be they self-selected Cat C?
they add the Super super tiny human rule to ZwiftPower back in the day.
A 60 lb person.
Why don’t the pro teams recruit these people, don’t they know anything about bike racing?
