Has my pacing strategy in the laps of this, ftp is about 290 so a bit of an underperformance in power, probably because I did a club ride in the morning, and was a bit fatigued from that!
in an ideal world id have put out more power relatively from the bottom of the hill to the final roundabout, but once I realised I was still on for a PB at the final turn with a tailwind to come, adrenaline kicked in and I managed to squeeze a bit more out.
gutted I still haven't managed to ride the course again since.
It's my first 10 with a power meter so I'm not going to have power showing on my garmin, just pace it as I usually do. Not ridden it since 2016 and I'm a bit faster now.
Is there a general consensus as to the best wind direction?
