AM: ~120' on the trainer.
Dirty Mitten Racing League S6
Had a decent race. Still need to be way more aggressive out of the gate because I am not able to count how many people are ahead of me. We organized a sprint at certain times to try to get a breakaway and then team time trial, but it never really worked out. It was still fun having a bunch of us yellow jerseys going to the front. Exchanged jabs with a smallish group through the middle of the race. Got a gap on the group and several second on a guy who was off the back (someone I know who isn't generally in these races) and I figured I had lost him and I would work to see if I could chip people off the back. At this point I pressed a little, but I should have pressed harder, but I was worried about the last long climb. The guy off the back latched back on and then passed me on the long climb and was gone. That's what happens when you try to race a guy who weighs 72 kilos.
Overall, a good effort. I tied or slightly beat my all-time one-hour power, which was one of the goals I had for the day (291 watts). 74' @ 284 watts @ 170 BPM. Warm up and cool down to get in 2 hours total.
