I actually was in a Zwift race with Gwen. We both got dropped from a group at the same time, and I was all excited that it was "Me & Gwen" riding together, and that'd we'd work hard taking pulls to make the group again. But.... she pulled the plug on the race and I was alone and heartbroken.
Best part of this video is exactly at the 18:00 minute mark. Nothing funnier than watching a Triathlete trying to sprint cause they/we rarely if ever train the Sprint. She broke 500 watts though!
Lionel got crushed in the Canadian Championship Zwift racing finals. He easily stayed with the main pack the whole race and then finished 20th in the bunch sprint. Lionel's peak 15 second power is only 723 watts, which is half of what I would guess!! My peak 15 second watts is 691 watts and I'm just a C Rider! But I've been practicing my sprint/ 15 sec power.
I must agree that it was a bit comical watching her with her head down trying to sprint. Nice effort. I was disappointed that she (*and her more knowledgeable husband) entered the race as a 'B' rider. Really??
((and we know you are a pretty beast sprinter Bobby, for a triathlete...just sayin'..I've seen your peak one second at ~1K watts!))
She must have been paid to make that video. And it was a bit startling...but informative to those who are less Zwift-savvy. Irritating that she can hold 3.7-4.0 W/Kg and carry on a conversation...but that's just my jealousy. I'm still a Gwenfan...lifelong...
