"Hil" took me 2:45. Was 250' gain in 1km. 383W, ~6 W/kg
It was after a
long false flat though. Overall there was about 1800' of gain in the 34 mile course. The 4s and 5s did 1 lap. The 3s and 1/2 did 2 laps. I wish we could have done 2 instead of 1.
Hi Steve- You looked strong today, nice race
I wish we (teammate and I) would have realized that we were already over 'the climb', we kept thinking that we still had it coming and then saw the 1km sign. Oh well, the objective was to see how we stacked up against the competition and I was happy to finish with you guys.
Figueroa was kind of brutal! What's the average grade for that climb? We went to the Ranger's Station and turned around. Emptied the tank for sure. Thanks for the info on getting there. See you next week.
Nick- Welcome to bike racing, it's not supposed to be pleasant. You'll last longer next time. Nutrition is finicky and different for everyone. You've got to experiment until you find out what works for your body.
