As the title implies DAMN BIKE RACING IS HARD
I am nowhere near an excellent biker but i can hold my own with an ftp of around 265-270.
My first race was yesterday and as soon as it started it was alternating between 150 watts coasting for a couple of seconds followed by surges at 6-700 watts plus for 10-15 seconds non-stop for the first 45 minutes. I got dropped and got a DNF for the first time in my life. It hurts.
Any advice to remain in the pack for the next race which is next sunday?
I would like to be able to at least try to help members of my team.
