Anyone else a bit disappointed after winning their first race?

Events

So I'm an average female cyclist, and just manage to hold on in Zwift races, usually just creeping into the top half of the field. This morning I entered one of the Zwift games womens races, there were only 5 off us so I decided to try and attack early because I wanted a decent work out and push myself, to my surprise I managed to hold on until the end and win. This felt a big achievement but then on finishing just the leader board popped up, no big congratulations or any kind of graphic. Completing Alp Du Zwift felt like a bigger achievement. I just felt a bit deflated, this might be the only race I ever win and it was probably partly luck of a small group but I just thought they'd be a bit more of an acknowledgement on Zwifts part. Was anyone else surprised when they won their first race?
