Thanks for organising @alex_cycles , still trying to figure out if I enjoyed them 🤣. Had no idea how to pace the 1st one having never done a TT that short ,I think I got it about right . In Glasgow I was desperately trying to have a gap onto the kicker so I could grab onto the group over the top it worked in my head but not in real life 🤣

I worked backwards. We rode exactly the same race 10 months ago and it took just under 3 minutes.
So I looked up my 3 minute power. All-time best 343. 90-day best 296. I figured I'm not in all-time peak shape but don't recall doing an all-out 3m effort in the last 90 days. So I pitched for 320 and hit 313 - so not too far off-base.

I thought you were nuts going off the front, but I guessed it was to try and get a lead for the kicker. You and Martin both caught back on for laps 1 and 2 but Martin stayed with us on 3 & 4.

That was hard with Michael fresh and attacking.

How does the scoring work?

I had to guess the likely maximum number of riders. Simply 30 for a win, decrementing by 1 for each position. So win 2 and you get 60 points. Second in two and you get 58. Very primitive

Race 1 - stood up the whole way
