Finally jumping in on the Zwift bandwagon. I was in on it in the early days, but didn't find a ton of value in just riding around a virtual world. Workouts came along and things were a little better, but I still preferred doing all of my efforts outside. I still do, but am making an effort to move indoors to see if I can bump up the quality and mental training effect.
The true X Factor for me now is the abundance of races. I did my first one last week and the competition factor really helps me get through a really hard effort indoors. It was a ton of fun.
So my question... well 2 questions.
Thanks.

- Do you have a particular race that is your favorite? If so, why is it your favorite? (i.e. do you have friends IRL that you race with? do you like it because it changes up the course each race or because it's always the same? Do you like it because really strong racers show up? etc...)
- How often are you guys racing? I'd like to do one race per week as a part of my overall training. Aside from just being fun and getting me excited to head into my cold garage, I was completely smoked at the end and got a killer workout. So how are you guys (and gals) working races into your training?
Thanks.
