BCMCA Victoria RR

Very tough course. It is a 10k loop, with about 200m of climbing per loop. But there is not a single section of this course that is either straight or flat for more than 200m!

This was definitely a course for people with good 1 minute power levels so you could blast up the hills and then recover on the coast downs.

I had to do the best I could by going up at my own pace (350-400 watts) and then trying to maintain a fast pace down (300-320 watts). But that still got me dropped on the second (of five) laps. As most of the 45-60 group at the front where going up at what would have taken me about 475 watts.

Had a bit of cramping in one calf by the last lap.
