I won!!!!:)

Second race of the season (1st win ever), and a crit, no less (pictured myself as a RR guy). It was very windy.

The power file shows where I broke away, just past the halfway point. At around 35 minutes, I waited for a rider who was bridging, but ended up having to drop him after a lap or two. :rolleyes:

AP for the ~20 minutes I was away, including waiting for the other rider, was right at my FTP :-)

That's a great average wattage for a crit. Nice job

That's a great average wattage for a crit. Nice job

Depends on the rider's weight. Might be a mediocre 3.5 W/Kg for some. Would be an "I can only dream" 5 W/Kg for me. ::sigh::

Definitely, good job. I'm sure it will be many years for me before I can say the same.

Was there any slow, over 35 guys racing? :) I'd like to try my hand but only if there's someone slower than me :)

Awesome, congrats! That's so badass that you did it solo.

Very nice. What was the makeup of the race (elite or masters 1 - 5)?

Awesome. Nothing beats a solo breakaway win. At least I imagine so - never had one myself.

Thanks, everyone.

It was a 35+ race. Here in Canada, we have Master 1,2,3 ability based categories. I'm starting out as a Master 2. FTP is closing in on 4.7 w/kg :)

Nice. Did you keep an eye on your power during the breakaway?
