"I will not use a power meter on race day, opting instead to focus on riding based on perceived effort. This is a bit of an old school move but was my approach to cycling training and racing too. In a cycling race it does not matter what a rider’s watts are showing if the other wheels in the group are going up the road without you. You simply must make it into the slipstream or the race is most likely over. In triathlon, if too many matches are burned on the bike, it is likely going to be a long, slow and painful march through the marathon"
I really don't get this passage... my sinister interpretation is that there is a veiled confession on following race dynamics as an AG, most likely resulting in draft situations.
Last time I looked he was not racing Pro (where this argument could be made, stagger rule and all)
But maybe I am too jaded, as I have to analyze this sort of "confessions" for a living....
I'd still like some clarification, though, as this is unlucky wording at least.
