Dilworth USA Crits power/heartrate data and quick report

Tough race today. Still not feeling 100% but happy to survive with no cramps and wrist not as sore as the night before. I started midpack and then stayed there for most of the race, drifting towards the back all too often and then fighting my way back towards the front. The key feature of the course was a tight greater than 90 degree turn at the bottom of the hill to take you back up to the start/finish line near the top of the hill. This is the source of all the power spikes in the data — accelerating out of the corner and up the hill. Kristine got some great video, and I will have those uploaded by the morning. Here’s a video of the finishing sprint:
