Does this sound like a training issue or a strategy issue? FWIW, on the ride home from the race, I consistently knock out a few PRs and fast hill climbs, so I know I've got the legs to do better, but they just aren't there when I need them.

Maybe next time try jumping with 1/2 or a 1/3 of a lap to go.
