It was basically all out effort and strava gives me around 280 W for 20 min average output (which checks out with other sources for my weight, gradient, etc). That puts me with a 3.6 W/kg FTP at best which is meh.
Any point entering XC races with those numbers and relatively heavy MTB?
Seeing some of his replays from past races people are dropping him like it's nothing so given the fact that I can't afford super light MTB my only chance of winning the thing is raising my power output. Any suggestions? Should I drop the whole race thing?
PS. Yes, this is out of season, my PR FTP was around 4.0 W/kg for 25 min but that's it.
