Wrapping up my long weekend with a quick and fast race around 3 laps of the Seaside Sprint route in Watopia, for the Rhino event in the Zwift Community Racing Festival. Held onto the front until the end, and onto my (D) ranking.

I felt that the race went much better than yesterday, and while I knew that I would not hold on at the front till the very end, I was at the sharp end for much more of the race - only finishing 15 seconds out.

Both Zwift and ZwiftRacing were a little less excited though - increasing my zwift racing score by just a few points again, and much more modest gains to my vELO score in ZwiftRacing. Probably fair - all of the key metrics were slightly down, though indicative of a smarter race with longer in the draft.

@leeperry Thanks for joining the Rhino event. I operate the Rhino crits and the weekly Frenemies race (if you ever fancy a mass start smashfest). In the Frenemies race I often adjust distance by category so everyone starts together but lower categories finish sooner, and the As get a long enough race.
