Well, all I can say for myself this past weekend was I was the product of traffic jams in the race. I felt great, I put good tires on and I never went down because of the tires (or at all)! The bike was working good, I was climbing great. So how did I finish 7th and 8 minutes back???
I just couldn't get around slower riders on trail in the single track sections which made up about 5 miles of the 7 mile loop. I was constantly waiting for any kind of opening to get around slower riders! I was actually wanting to get to the climbs because I could pass people, I NEVER LOOK FORWARD to a CLIMB!!!!
Oh well, still feel like I am getting stronger, now I just need to be in the right spot at the beginning of the race so I don't have to wait for slower people..
