I’ve got a tactic. I’ve put on a 200bpm soundtrack of music I don’t like. So I can try to tune out to the music, tune in to my pedals and finish ASAP to make the noise stop! 
Sh*t me!

Horrible fucker isn’t it
That hill
It must all be in the head though I reckon. 300W on a dumb trainer is just 300W, whatever the screen shines into your eyes
Yeah I’m glad I researched it beforehand otherwise I’d never have known how to ride it. Or that 6km out of 8km is pretty much bang on half way in time! 
Had I not know that, I may have lost it mentally.
I paced it as per a GP lama article. About 5% under threshold for the flat and then 5% over threshold on the hill. I was absolutely dripping with sweat on that hill!
Annoyingly as I was under 20 mins for the course, I’ve now missed out on what was probably going to be my 20min power pb!

Threshold as in max 20 minute power, or FTP?
I just ask as would have thought averaging 100% of FTP might be a bit slow for a sub 20 minute race, maybe 105-110% would be optimal? Maybe have misunderstood though.
Clearly whatever you did worked as you dominated the dojo 
Wait till you do it as a TTT with 2 ascents. The fun never stops.
Congrats on the glory 
Didn’t we do that on New Year’s Day? Or was it Christmas Eve. Something suitably festive
Well i’m a bit unsure of my real ftp. I overperform on the ramp test which gives me a higher than, what I think is, real life ftp.
I had a recent 20min max figure in mind from the TTT we did a couple of weeks ago. Think I averaged 268 for that and 278 today.

Ah yes it all comes back now. 55 minutes of joy, particularly trying to hold it together after the 2nd descent. That’s a tough TTT course
I’m pretty sure it was made tougher with @Doka and @TROSaracen setting the pace!

Yes. @Doka pace the second time up the hill was fierce.
I actually got dropped on the descent

Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve the TTT’s were the double Bologna and the Alpe.
Fun…
That was when my Wattbike was broken and I was fighting that stupid kickr
Anti Sandbagging race
346W for 20 minutes
Might get moved up
Stayed with the front pack but no sprint
