bruce Posted January 27, 2008 Share Okay, here are my summary stats for The Fast One: Race:Duration: 02:07:37Work: 1783 kJTSS: 149.9 (intensity factor 0.839)Norm Power:290VI: 1.24Pw:HR: 2.60%Pa:HR: -4.52%Distance: 103.478 kmMinMaxAvgPower: 0948233wattsHeart Rate: 80169141bpmCadence: 3118883rpmSpeed: 079.248.7kphPace 00:4500:0001:14min/kmHub Torque: 040.86.1N-mCrank Torque:0115.627.2N-m So, power wise it was a pretty easy race for me. First race in Elites so my goal was to sit in the bunch and stay out of trouble. To put it into perspective, my 94.7 had a normalised power of 335watts, as opposed to 290watts in this race. I see WinningTime timewarped myself and Craig backwards by about a minute! Which is annoying because now all the Vet's are going to be laughing at us saying we got dropped Racing in the Elites though is defiitely a step up. My bunch riding skills are going to have to improve! Even though the overall power numbers were lower, I found the race to be hard because of the level of concentration required. Things just seem to happen that much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't use my 11 sprocket (chain was jumping) but I can't get to 188rpm, that's for sure! Must be a spike in the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I shorten that chain to just outside the study? First 30min of the race I tried to get involved a bit at the sharp end of the race. Just found myself sliding back in the bunch too much, so after working my way back to the front like a yo-yo one time too many I decided to stay in the bunch a bit more. Geez, what have you been feeding Michelle?? She's a bit woes hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted January 27, 2008 Share Bruce I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that bunch difficult to ride in. I found myself riding at the back because I just didn't have the confidence to move into the thick of things. I prefer it when there are a few hills to make the bunch smaller. Today was very scary. Quite a few close calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nochain Posted January 28, 2008 Share Bruce I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that bunch difficult to ride in.

Quite a few close calls. Being my first race in the Elites for some time I also struggled to get use to the constant battle for position.Also a lot harder to move up to the front once you are close to the back.At one stage i wanted to get to the front to help some of my team mates but it took me like 10minutes just to get there and as soon as I relaxed I was back halfway down!! Had a chat with 101% and he gave me some good advise,something along the lines of I should first switch off my brain and then I will be able to stay in front for longer.Will give it a go at the Emperors!!!nochain2008-01-28 02:18:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did suffer a bit with the high speed at the end, first race, since Dischem, so not used to those speeds at the moment.RABUBI2008-01-28 02:04:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
