My kids FIRST ZWIFT RACE (8 years old / 216 bpm!!!)

WHOA! My 8 year old son has been asking me if he can race on zwift for a while now. So we finally got him dialed in and into a race. Now we found this out later, but Zwift has a weight limit of 99lbs or 45kgs, thats the lowest it will go. My son is 57lbs / 26kgs , so he basically was weight dopping in the wrong direction. Carrying double his weight over the 5 mile race.

He avged 3 w/k for the 21 minutes in his first zwift race, which if his weight had been correct in the game, he would have been battling for the D grade win. He also hit 9.3 watts per kilo in the sprint...thats like... MY FREAKING SPRINT!

My son went so deep in this race, and it was 100% what he wanted to do. Im not forcing anything on him at all. This kids loves bikes and loves to race, and now he REALLY loves ZWIFT.

Truly deserves a Love and not a Like button.

You look to be doing all the right things. The son / father time is important while it also gives your SO time with your daughter. And the time with your daughter is priceless. Great example of balancing it all. Nice job man.

Most recent zwift cycling podcast they said something about "I wonder if any 8 year old kids are racing zwift" mentioned how minimum weight is 45kg

[gwatson]

"Can't let him catch me!" That's the spirit! Great racing young man 👍👍

He looks so much more dignified than most of us after an effort.

Folks, any standard doctor's chart tells us that max heart rate is 220 minus your age. Those are national averages too, and individuals will vary greatly from those numbers. Lil' Brah's max heart rate is totally normal for his age. Just making this comment because some people seem freaked out. Tyler this video was awesome bro, super dope bro 🤙

Is there climbing?
There’s one little climb
DANGIT

Can’t wait for when he wins his first race. Must be the best “IM HIS DAD” moment

[chrisgomez]

This is inspiring makes me want to have my own little version of me.

[MichaelRWright]

Totally loved it "bro!" I have a 9 year old and a 5 year old. Amazing little man you have!

[jefmichel]

That's awesome. I'm jealous. I just started Zwift and did a D group ride for the first time today. Got spit off the back right away. At 8 you should be super proud!

[claychittenden]

Great video! As a dad that rides with his son it’s easy to forget how high that heart rate gets and how deep they go to keep up with us. Thanks for inspiring us.

[Dumbo.]

Congratulations for your awesome family. I'm really proud of your son to. It's so inspiring to see his unconventional motivation.

[GerardoGarza]

This is probably the best thing I’ll see this week. I hope my daughters let me have this joy one of these days.
