IndieVelo race help

I’ve just started giving IndieVelo a go.

Looks great especially for free but I’m really struggling with the races. I’m getting put in the bottom groups which is right. But right from the off I’m way behind the group. Giving it everything I can catch up for few seconds but then I have to give up.

Now I know I’m not at my fittest but I can’t be that behind everyone in beginners group.

So hoping I’m missing something with settings

Im using Tacx trainer and irs calibrated on that app BUT if try calibrate on IndieVelo it takes massive effort to get to the 20mph but came back with reading of 16…does that mean it’s wrong?

Have you done an FTP test? If so, does IndieVelo have the correct number for you? Also, does it have your weight correct?

Also, check your other metrics (age, height, age etc)
