    That uphill 1000 watts is my 110% max effort sprint... but every lap. Insane.

    Literally grew up on this street watching the race every year! Awesome to see it scored so high! GJ with the finish this year your improvement is inspirational! You’re a beast!

    8:39 a list showing the rankings of the courses would be kind of fun. Kind of like the Lap Times board from the show Top Gear!

    Just a thought. In a crit or circuit race with a repeated hill ascent, it can be helpful to intentionally lose a few places and “float” the hill, then move up a few places on an easier portion of the circuit. It’s hard to do this every lap in a crit, there’s not enough time to move up before the hill comes around again, but it’s doable on a longer circuit. Even a few “easy”laps add up by the finish.

      you can't do that on a course like this except on certain laps where it's going exceptionally hard. If you do that every lap, you'll get accordion-ed and be working much harder than you would if you simply rode in the first 10 spots the entire race. As an aside, I raced in SoCal for 11 years (a long time ago, in the 90s) and was good at hill crits, being good at anaerobic efforts, but Cat's Hill scared me. There were a couple years at the end (when I was mostly road racing) where I may have been light enough to do well there, but when I was doing mostly crits, I wussed out. Probably for good reason. That's a long way to drive to get dropped. Also wussed out and never did Nevada City.

    Awesome video - great job! Such an improvement from last year. I had a friend drive down from Vancouver to race in it (plus a few others). I always love seeing the videos of Cat's Hill! Also, when Tyler is racing with you, how much does the pre-race talk and coaching change? I imagine he'll still be giving you tips and race tactics advice even though he's going against you (he's got wattz for days so I"m sure he can cope lol). Oh and that HR during your hill attack - either you were tired AF and couldn't get it raised, or more likely, well placed throughout the laps before - great stuff!

    • @Ejstrainingcamp
      @Ejstrainingcamp  개월 전 +1

      That’s awesome! It’s pretty much the same. He takes himself out of the equation which is nice! 👍
      Hahha yeah! I felt comfortable in this race which really helped keep the HR down! Thanks for the comment!

    • @mstrasser
      @mstrasser 개월 전

      ​@@Ejstrainingcampfigured for both. Good that he can separate himself, and sure he might "know" what you might do but still. And your HR was SO low, much more controlled and comfortable for sure. Keep it coming!

  • @anthonyhuber-permanentlyre7808

    *Damn, look how much bigger Stetina in next to a Junior Lemond.* 😳
    I would imagine that gave Lemond the advantage going up that hill 30 times. Also, Lemond got a better draft off Stetina than vice versa.

    Thank you for doing the MPH in this video! My dumb American brain can’t figure out how fast that is without losing concentration on the story. Also, appreciate you rounding it up to a whole number.

    Those are some great power numbers. I would be out the back in 3 laps, on a good day.

    Why do guys even bother running their bike up the hill? Just pack it up, race is over.

    • @TheIcelizard82
      @TheIcelizard82 개월 전 +1

      The guy in the video who ran it then rehopped on was able to catch, it's a lot easier to chase back then go off the front

    • @sckego
      @sckego 개월 전

      I couldn’t believe that the guy running at 7:45 was able to make it back to the field. Took him like 3 laps of chasing, but he did it 👏🏼

    Fantastic result, EJ 💪🦵
