The story of the race is the cadence plot. 1h10 min in, Zack hit the front on a paved section at I needed to do 130 to hold on. My seat came loose and I needed to jump off to fix it. We had a decent amount of climbing that followed and I could do 90ish RPM for another 45min at good power, right around zone4. The climbing ended and cadence needed to go back up to 100+ mostly around 110 and couldn’t generate much more than 300 watts because I started to be cadence limited. Average pedaling power 315 vs NP* of 320. Total average power with zeros in 265 Watts.
