PR for me on the course, I pretty happy with it. Technically rode well, good splits, good power. Not as smooth as I'd like but I was being kind of lax with my upper power limit today, I'd been riding strong all week and didn't want to limit the top end needlessly. Despite that, raced with a VI of 1.0, which is as good as you can get re: power variability.
Really like the TTs, just fascinating to me. It's very interesting trying to race these things perfectly.
Yeah!
And the chain drop: ouch. That's one of those things that if I decided I didn't want to "blame" my finish on it, I don't think I could ever bring myself to tell anyone it happened. I would just let it eat at me endlessly on the inside. That's why you're a better person.
But seriously, great job!
