Nice! Your chart brings up another point: given that your 700+w was only getting you ~22mph, I'm assuming this was an uphill sprint. In general, I've found that uphill finishes favor long sprints (like in your file) b/c there's less advantage to drafting. Flat sprints favor short efforts, b/c the draft is so strong no one can stay out front long before being jumped, so you want to hit it in the last few seconds.
