Both sentences here are absolutely spot on. People take it too seriously, and IMHO the second someone does, they should give it up.
@hippy I "befriended" you using the mobile app, yep, that's me. Once you finish the course/race you go back to 'normal' mode until you decide to quit. All races do come up with a results board when you finish, but apparently the team who run the KISS races asked Zwift to turn this off.
Listen to me, sounding like an expert. That was only my second race, and my first was 10 months ago!!
@TTM one lap of Richmond is 10 1/2 miles. I knew this, but still went at 10 mile power, knowing I could ease off on the downhills, and put out a bit more on the uphills. Damn, I hate that final climb!

Yep, it's certainly not a level playing field. Some weight doping for sure and a lot of the smart turbos over read power too.
As long as you don't take any of it at all seriously, it's just a good motivator/distraction while you hurt your legs over winter.
