24% climb. I was already in the small ring, but wanted to keep my cadence consistent and incrementally grab cogs.
Didn’t work out; dropped some chain and was lucky not to fall, I unclipped just in time.
Could not clip L foot back in, climbed it with one clipped, one just pushing pedal.
So, 16 miles later went at it again, 34/32 and rode right up, cut 53 seconds off the time.
Rode the Wraith. I can’t climb 24% on an Ironman.







In a bridge, about mile 26.
