Racer snakes do not make good pets. They are too aggressive for handling and do not become accustomed to human touch. Instead, they constantly try to flee using their thin bodies and speed to their advantage to break out of a confining habitat. They are also traveling snakes, preferring wide open spaces to smaller confines. Eligibility: open to Senior and Junior male 3rd and 4th category riders and Senior and Junior female riders of all categories with a Full Racing Licence or holders of a Day Licence. I once thought I could just ride off the front at the Sea Otter Classic in a Cat 4 race. After three failed breakaway attempts I crossed the line just inside the top ten with a normalized power of 325 for 70 minutes while weighing 141pounds. That’s just over 5 w/kg for those keeping score —way more than what many people would assume a Cat 4 race winner would need. “Not enough upgrade points? Just send in a petition.” Any junior or senior licence holder who has gained 200 points during any one season whilst holding a 2nd category licence. To retain a 1st category licence for the following season, a rider must obtain at least 100 points in events open to that category of rider. The population and conservation status of each of the 11 racer snake subspecies vary. The conservation status for the snake species overall is listed as “ Least Concern” and “Stable” as of 2012 by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. The IUCN also lists the population count as unknown but likely exceeding 1,000,000.

Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, Available here: https://www.tn.gov/twra/wildlife/reptiles/snakes/north-american-racer.html Masters racing is generally done on ability rather than age category with riders competing in any road or closed circuit event open to their category although some circuits do run Masters specific events. They are split in 5 year age bands: 2023 Data Filter(s): Past 90 days of racing from the Top 20 category A and A+ racers as of August 17th. When you look at the rider profiles you will see higher power than what is shown below because the data I used is only from races where the rider achieved a rank of under 150 for the race ranking. Our goal is to identify how to become a top Zwift racer, not to see what everyone’s max wattage is during a 2.0 W/kg group ride with a sprint in the middle. Cutting off at 150 is arbitrary. Looking at the best five races from the racers between 40th and 50th for each category seemed appropriate. The MC50 is a clever boat. A Ker/McConaghy project, it might be expected to be all about the performance. That has yet to be proved, but the first MC50 to launch stole the show at its La Grande Motte debut in April thanks to the sheer amount of open-plan living space it offers.

One of the issues for me is too many events on at the same time, including several group rides where the D tend to ride. Nature Serve Explorer, Available here: https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.103328/Coluber_constrictor There are 11 subspecies of racer snakes in North America and Central America, each varying in adult colors and juvenile snake patterns. No other manufacturer to date has built a catamaran that gives effortless pace and upwind capability combined with an ultra high quality, stylish and spacious interior. This is primarily because the latter two are not comfortable bedfellows,” says Kinloch. Well, Rider 1 is Joakim Lisson, the 9th ranked Zwifter in all categories, who also falls into Cat A. Rider 2 is A+ and is a fantastic rider and I aspire to have any one of those numbers; don’t get me wrong. But it is strange that Lisson would beat him in nearly all major Zwift races (save races with climbs well over 5 minutes) and is in a lower category.

Racer snakes can speed away as fast as 3.5mph. They prefer to race away from humans and other threats using this speed than to defend themselves in other ways. Because the racer snake is not venomous, its speed is more effective than its bite.If a racer is pursued, it will use its speed to find cover or climb up a tree. If cornered, it may react so violently that it breaks off its own tail. The strong pattern of juvenile racers helps to camouflage them. The twin helms are on swinging pedestals, and the boat uses foils and T-shaped rudders to provide lift to windward. There are three broad specification levels, depending on budget, with the top spec including full carbon lay-up. On reaching the Junior age category, existing licence holders will be awarded initial ability categories as follows: Mexican Racer ( Coluber constrictor oaxaca) – Found mostly in Mexico, Mexican Racers can also sometimes be found in Texas or Guatemala and measures only up to about 40in in length.

The racer snake, also called the Eastern racer snake, is a non-venomous species of 11 subspecies found in North America and Central America, from southern Canada to Guatemala. Their scientific name is “ Coluber constrictor,” not because the snake constricts its prey to kill it, but because it will lie on top of the prey and press down on it with its body. Then it swallows the subdued prey alive. If you look at many of the A+ riders, they have not exceeded the 4.84 W/kg I mentioned above in the last 90 days, yet they stay A+. Why? My guess is that ZwiftPower is keeping some of these people A+ because they know it would look weird if the very top person is an A and not an A+.They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. You’re a racer — the category is just the arena. Over time that arena will change, but the important thing is to constantly improve your fitness, technical ability and racing tact along the way.
