Thanks man. Power was a bit lower than target but paced it well. Without the fatigue in the legs from Saturday probably could have gone sub 55. I ran it with a 60mm on the front vs the 85mm widow maker lol. The 85mm was probably worth a few seconds as well. Happy with it though…...

Decided to drive a couple hours west for another gravel race yesterday. Change of pace from last week’s long, flat drag. Haven’t been training for 5min punchy efforts but it could have been worse. Shorter race at 55mi, but 5000ft of up. P9...
