Well I "raced" in the US nationals today, placed 218/435. I've only been doing trainerroad for training so I was curious to test my legs before starting build this week. Didn't want to go too deep, my goal heading in was to average 3.8w/kg, ended up with a NP of 3.75, so close enough. For me it was a balance of staying with the group but not putting myself in a position where I was dragging the group along and being too thresholdy, especially with the race being 80mins and it being a very different type of riding compared to my 20-30 min sweet spot intervals where I get rest in between. It was fun change of scenery but yeah, I totally lack anything beyond sweet spot, so hopefully in 4 weeks after the first part of sustained power build I can have some more in me to do some other stuff.
