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.

i was thinking training issue but if you can ever with the final surge it's in your legs..
so maybe it's a positioning issue. are they jumping from in front of u, or behind?
also whatever PRs your hitting may not be the ones you need to follow these moves. you'll need good 10-30" power for that.
