Tour de Boudicca - 7th Edition

A three day stage race series

     “It takes skill to win a battle, but brains to win a war”

Boudicca was the Queen of the Iceni who led a revolt against Roman rule in ancient Britain around AD 60-61. A warrior queen, she was a true inspiration to women and a hero to her people. She might have failed in her quest but she gave it everything she had. The Warrior Games, has created a three day stage race in her honour open to all female Zwifting warriors.

   

All categories will race exactly the same routes and distances with 3 Short races, a Scratch Race and a Queen Stage.

We would recommend uploading the video on Youtube (unlisted) to share weigh-ins verifications. We strongly recommend that riders record a pre-verification video either on the morning of the race or within 24 hours before it. This video will remain valid throughout the weekend. Doing so will help us process submissions more efficiently and confirm results before the next stage.

You can find the weight - in protocol on link below :

The Warrior Games - Weigh-in Protocol

NOTE: "No rider will be asked to submit more than one video over the course of the event."

  • Team entries are the responsibility of the team managers ONLY. Each team must have a minimum of three riders, however there is no maximum number of riders per team.

  • Riders must match their Zwift profile name and ZP name, e.g. Jane Doe [XTeam]

  • Dual recordings “advisory” for Cat A ( if you have a power meter). Dual recordings should be submitted into the “analysis” section in the Rider’s Zwiftpower profile. Elite riders are expected to follow eracing rules this is to ensure the fairness and transparency in the Stage race event.

  • AMENDMENT: This event is using ZWIFT CATEGORY ENFORCEMENT. If you receive an upgrade on ZwiftPower based on your stage performance, and this happens during Stage 1, you will be required to race in the higher category for Stages 2 and 3. If an upgrade occurs during Stage 2 or 3, you may finish the event in the category you originally started in. Zwift category enforcement will determine most upgrades; however, when necessary, the final decision regarding category changes rests with The Warrior Games event organizing committee.

  • Heart Rate Monitors (HRM) are obligatory for all categories. Note: If or during the stage your HRM drops/malfunction, you may be allowed to continue the competition if it’s not intentional and your HR graph clearly shows a malfunction. HR in a dual record may also help. Contact organisers within 2 hours after the stage has concluded.

  • Smart trainers and dumb trainers with power meter only, no Zpower riders.

  • Riders should ensure power meters and smart trainers are calibrated / zeroed (calibration to be done after a warm-up) out prior to each stage.

  • Riders must wear their team jersey for each stage unless they are GC leaders, in which case they must swap to the Queen Bee jersey for the following stage.

  • Riders will be disqualified if they race with no HRM or have an inaccurate weight verification video (weight in video must match Zwift weight) if called upon to provide.

  • The Organising committee recommends that all riders do a weigh in verification video the morning of each race, and submit to their  manager/captain so it will be ready to submit if called upon.

  • Riders, please ensure that you do not change Zwift power names/tags/ teams  during the competition and until the results are officially finalised.
