I did the same race as Matt and Hack. I know most guys aren't fit yet, but neither was I so it was an experiment. We got a couple guys in the early break that stuck, so after 25 minutes or so when I knew I wasn't gonna blow up I went to patrol the front covering for the rest of the race.
About 3 laps to go the other big team gathers within earshot and discusses waiting until the final lap to string it out, so of course I go with my only move and sneak attack when no one wants to chase. Power was the best its been in months but still quite low, but at least it got the other team to line it up early. They were breathing down my neck at the bell and came by shortly after, but it turns out they didn't have much gas left and couldn't pick it up fast enough after that, allowing Matt to get the top remaining spot.
