B race crit last night. I was dumb and just hanging in the pack and missed the break. Biggest rival was in the break, but we had teammate in the break. He was dropped from the break. I tried to solo bridge to the break, but failed miserably. I don't know if I went too fast, but after 1 mile I was cooked and the gap was still something like 15 seconds. So I gave up and went back to the pack. And then recovered, and despite feeling cooked, won the meager field sprint. Video starts where I try to bridge. Any suggestions on best strategy for bridging effort to break? They had 6 guys or so working together, and it was reasonably windy, about 12mph. Then I had to worry that I was bridging rival to the break. I really did dig to the very bottom in bridging, but it wasn't close to being enough. If I had tried to pace it better, I'm not sure it would have been any better. Could I have done a 2-3 mile bridge attempt at lower watts??? I don't know. Try something and learn.
