Another good one. Power was similar to last year but form was better. Too bad I did not have the legs. Could not even crack the 180 hr. I would be a different story if I had a day like this:   / strava  

Also dropped at the exact same location as last year:    • Glocknerkönig Ultra 2022  🥉 Overall (...  

Weather was not supposed to be this wet so I kept the cheap carbon tubulars. Their breaking in wet is more on the advisory side. So had to keep my distance on the flat part.
Started the climb with a big group. No big attacks, we stayed together.
After the toll gate did not take any risks and hang on to HPO for a nice 5.3-5.6 tempo. Collecting riders along the way. I was within my capability but still run out of power before last 25 mins. It was bad too, averaged 300w or so till finish. All went wrong in 5 mins. No idea why. I have no problem with weather or altitute, had an ok run up to the event. Perhaps whoever can find the answer they would deserve a phd for the work.
Anyway, season is long and for the first race this was pretty good. No complaints.
