from mile 10 to 50 there was a tough headwind, I just sat on 150 or few watts and didn't worry about what was going on around me. worked hard at getting back on track from 50 to 90.

I will add power data when I have it. Hr was low 144 for the whole ride. Good base fitness decoupled 10.93 % which doesn't surprise me, my hr was very steady all day. 3 hour peak power at 139 watts, 30 min peak at 151, NP at 140 for the entire ride. That suggests a ftp of 185 to 200 riding from 75% to 70% of ftp which seems right to me. 3 weeks after imfl tested at 203 ftp, but likely gained a little from the race itself, so I am on record for 73% and 191 FTP.
Wind: Headwind
Course: good course, some slight rollers on the back, but prepare for a lot of time grinding in the seat. Have to expect big headwinds. however, they stayed consistent, so no shifting like in AZ
