Zwift Winter-Spring League: Rnd 4 Results
Round 4: Casse-pattes
A record 541 riders on the course last night made for a super atmosphere, and some great racing against the clock for the Round 4 iTT at Casse-Pattes.
A 24k time trial…how hard could it be, right? Wrong! Cruising for the majority of this course lulls riders into a false sense of security, until a substantial climb to the finish. Brutal!
With only one week to get started to complete all 8 rounds required, there were plenty of new faces yesterday evening. If anyone in your club is on the fence about taking part…next week is the week to start!
For now, let’s take a look back at how the action unfolded in virtual France last night…
Don’t forget!
These tables are of Triathlon Ireland riders only but we rely on you to tell us this fact through club affiliation – we have a whole section on how the table is calculated and what to do if you don’t see your name on this page – just scroll down to the bottom of the article.

| 2 | Adriele Prina | Belpark TC | 205 |
| 3 | Don Lapierre | Cork TC | 193 |
| 3 | Stephen Rowan | Pulse TC | 193 |
Enda Bagnall, Adriele Prina and Don Lapierre remain in the same spots as last week, with Stephen Rowan now in equal third. With four wins out of four, Bagnall is clear at the top for the minute but just 12 points separate the next three contenders.
Currently in ninth, Tri Limits’ Mark Farquhar is making moves up the leader board each week with a round less completed that those ahead of him and three solid results under his belt. Also making a late charge to start their campaigns are Northwest TC’s Stephen Mulberry and Nigel Connolly, second and third behind Enda Bagnall in last night’s iTT.
A LEAGUE INDIVIDUAL WOMEN
| Position | Name | Club | Points |
| 1 | Aoife Wilson | NorthWest TC | 122 |
Northwest TC’s Aoife Wilson is currently the sole contender in the Women’s A Category but hopefully that will change in coming weeks. Sixteenth overall last night in an impressive time of 34.45 scored Wilson’s 61 points.

The ever competitve Men’s B league currently has an impressive 109 riders vying for points. With the top two remaining unchanged this week, the absence of Brian Stanley for this round enabled Gary Condell to move back into the top three with a ninth place finish last night.

| 1 | Peter Blissett | Cork TC | 229 |
| 2 | Gary O Connor | Down TC | 205 |
| 3 | Pauric Feely | 168 |
Overall victory in the time trial saw league leader Peter Blissett add another 61 points to this total and extend his lead to a healthy 24 points at the top of the Men’s C League. With last week’s second placed rider Pauric Feely sitting out the TT , he drops to third. Gary O’Connor is the main beneficiary – his superb second place last night sees him move to second overall in the table.

| 3 | Monika Tupa | Boru TC | 178 |
With 39 riders competing, the C League is the biggest women’s table of them all in this year’s competition and the battle for places is predictably tough. On top for the third week in a row is Omagh’s Cathy Cunningham who extended her advantage over Roisin Donohoe and now has 16 points to spare.
Back in third, Monika Tupa and Edel Foster are locked on 178 points each – that could be a battle to watch next week!

For the second week in a row triathlon MC and podcaster Joanne Murphy let her legs do the talking (sorry!) and saw off all of the competition in the women’s D league. Louise McGirl is still in second thanks to her 45 point haul but the gap has grown from 10 to 26 points.
Last week’s third placed athlete Maxine Strain sat out the TT and slips to fifth with Mary Coyne taking over the third step on the league table thanks to some remarkable consistency – she has finished in either 12th or 9th position in every round of the league so far!

Results
< VIEW THE STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 4 >
You can see all the race results and dig in to the in-depth data on the race’s ZwiftPower page.
In contrast to Triathlon Ireland’s autumn league, the 2021 Winter-Spring League does not have its own page on Zwift Power. Instead we are compiling the individual and club rankings ourselves – this is being done to ensure we can allocate points equally to men and women.
The same scoring criteria apply from our previous league: (with women and men assigned points separately).
1st : 61 points
2nd : 56 points
3rd : 51 points
4th-50th : 49-3 points
Every finisher from 51st onwards will receive 1 point.
The team competition pulls points each week from a club’s best five riders – unlike the Autumn League however once each week’s club score is finalised it can’t change of a rider subsequently changes teams.
The same will apply to riders who manage to earn an upgrade during the league – if you move up a category, you cannot take your already earned points with you as this would not be fair to your new rivals in your upgraded cat.

Why Am I Not There?
If you don’t see your name on either the ZwiftPower race results sheet or the Triathlon Ireland league standings here are some leads to follow up:
FILTERED RIDERS
ZwiftPower will ‘filter’ (aka exclude) any results from riders for a number of reasons, the most common being the absence of a heart rate monitor, a verified power meter or those who entered a power category below their ability/exceeded the W/kg for the power category they entered.
These are automated decisions based on power and made by ZwiftPower not Triathlon Ireland.
While Zwift racing is primarily about having fun, we have a responsibility to ensure that any race that carried our name is also fair so unfortunately if you were excluded or ‘filtered’ it is for a legitimate reason. Filtering is an automatic, data based decision by ZwiftPower designed to ensure an above board race.
We know it can be heart braking when your HR monitor or Power Meter data fail you in a race but view it like having a mechanical that causes you to pull out of a real life race – it’s unfortunate but not grounds to have your result re-instated.
League Tables
If you are missing from the Triathlon Ireland League Table it is likely for one of two reasons
– You are not assigned to a Triathlon Ireland club on ZwiftPower
– You are not assigned to Triathlon Ireland on ZwiftPower
Only riders assigned to a Triathlon Ireland club or to Triathlon Ireland (as a club) will be included in the results sheets. If however you are a Triathlon Ireland 2021 member and have been left off for these reasons, drop us an email – we are happy to re-instate you. Please email roisin@triathlonireland.com.
Only riders assigned to a Triathlon Ireland club will be added to the Club Rankings tables.
