Today I attacked in the tailwind at minute 7 of a 45 minute race, got a gap with another dude. Dropped him. Someone else came across and we worked very well together for the next 30 minutes to roll the break to the finish line. Super messy with (double..triple..) lapped riders in the way and the A group passing us and then getting in the way for the final lap. Regardless I had to put in one huge effort to keep the breakaway from getting caught. Super happy with how I played the race to my strengths since I basically just rode my breakaway companion off my wheel in the headwind so I didn't have to try with my meager sprint in the tailwind finish.

Check out the W' graph. That looks just about right even if my power wasn't the best I've ever done.
