Zwift Winter-Spring League: Rnd 3 Results

Round 3: watopia figure 8

Have you recovered from the excitement (and effort!) of racing in Watopia last night? We haven’t! Here’s the round up of all the action from the 400 riders who tackled the course.

In a 30km course that has everything, and nowhere to hide, it’s important to get into a group early on. Staying there is the problem through the rolling hills!

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.  

A LEAGUE INDIVIDUAL MEN

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Enda Bagnall	Eden TC	183

No change at the top of this week’s Men’s Cat A leaderboard with the podium for last night’s race representing the top three in the league overall at the moment.

The points difference between the top 15 is close and with another nine rounds to go, nothing has been decided yet!

B LEAGUE INDIVIDUAL WOMEN

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Gail Martin	Lisburn TC	173

Holding the top spot in Cat B is Gail Martin, with her second win of the league last night in Watopia.

Clare Dillon from Pulse and TriLakes’ Mary Corless made their league debuts last night to round out the podium, but they will need to be consistent in coming rounds to make a dent in Medbh Peavoy and Helen Perry’s headstart in the league.

B league INDIVIDUAL MEN

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Kevin Gilleece	3D TC	158
2	Stephen Pepper	Lisburn TC	142
3	Brian Stanley	Piranha TC	141

We called it last week – this league is going to be close! In second last week, this week Gary Condell moves to fourth and Lisburn’s Stephen Pepper moves into second after a consistent start to the league. Only 2 points separate second and fourth and with nine rounds to go…the excitement is just getting started!

c leagUe individual MEN’S

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Peter Blissett	Cork TC	168
2	Pauric Feely		168
3	Gary O Connor	Down TC	149

Victory by a ten second margin last night saw Pauric Feely grab 61 points and shoot back to the top of the men’s C League table. But he’s only joint-top as his 168 points total is matched by last night’s second placed rider Peter Blisset. We will have to wait till next week to see any separation in what looks like an intriguing battle.

A model of consistency, Gary O’Connor has gone 4th, 4th and now 3rd so far in the first three rounds and holds on to third overall with 149 points.

The top two remain unchanged in the Women’s C League but with a second place finish last night, Roisin Donohoe has closed the gap on leader Cathy Cunningham from 20 to 13 points. Monika Tupa has leaped into third place meanwhile on 139 points.

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Joanne Murphy		168
2	Louise McGirl		158
2	Maxine Strain		146

With last week’s league leader in Women’s Cat D – Toni Eglington – not racing last night, the top step was up for grabs and it was none other than Joanne Murphy who took the leap up from second overall by winning her race. Louise McGirl retains second place overall after finishing third last night – she trails Murphy by ten points with last night’s second placed woman – Maxine Strain – in third overall 12 points back.

Position	Name	Club	Points
1	Stephen Smyth	3D TC	158
2	Stephen Ring	Mallow TC	140
2	Ambrose Duggan	Athlone TC	126

Stephen Smyth extends his lead at the top of the Men’s Cat D League after netting 46 points from his 6th place last night.

Behind him Stephen Ring has jumped in to 2nd overall thanks to a top five finish with Ambroise Duggan in third overall. That only tells part of the story however as last night’s winner Kevin Hughes has just one race to his name while the second placed rider from Watopia Figure 8 Keith Ryan has his 117 points haul from just two races – expect plenty of change as the league progresses!

Results

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.
