RATL 2


Ok. More bikin last weekend at ratl 2, finally made the winning break. So lets compare last week power #'s with this weeks. Last week I was really aggressive from the start of the race and wasted a lot of energy, this week I raced smarter. I used my energy when the smack went down in the race. Here are a couple of power # from week 1 and 2.

Week 1. CP 1

In week 2 the cp1 was a lot higher, this was part of the bridge effort to the break. Now in week 1 I missed the break but my cp 20 was a lot higher than in week 2.
