“I’m exceptionally keen for a chatty k2 pace” said the ride organizer.
And I was exceptionally happy with that approach. As soon as the pace as agreed I started to plan in my head my assault at my PR at Ditchling Beacon, 5:46 on 15th of June 2018 (https://www.strava.com/activities/1639823822/segments/41070478301), more than 5 years ago.
In that ride I had also targeted a PR at Ditchling Beacon. I had a very simple strategy. Ride easy all the way to Ditchling and give it all at the climb. And I did it. PR by 26 seconds!!! From 6:12 to 5:46.
A “chatty k2 pace” was my opportunity to repeat that strategy.
Unfortunately for me it didn’t work. I did 5:53 (https://www.strava.com/activities/9949387676/segments/3143200626457728218). 7 seconds too slow.
To make it worse I was beaten at the KOM by Sep Kuss.
The funny thing is I didn’t know it at the time. In fact I was convinced I had beaten my PR.
I was so happy with my performance that I didn’t care I didn't take Juniper’s KOM or Horton’s sprint despite having great legs.
I’m not that happy now.
I could be sillier but I’d need to train for it.
