９極の耐９ in 筑波サーキッ [99"分"チャレンジ] Tsukuba 2024 99 minutes challenge

English follows:
(unfortunately,the last lap wasn't recorded 😞)
これは私の2回目の筑波サーキットレースでした。去年は9位を予定していました。だから、改善へのモチベーションは高かったです。レース中、すべてを正しく行いましたが、残り1周のタイミングが分からなかったのが残念でした。完璧なコンディションで、優勝に向けての素晴らしいスプリントができたかもしれませんが、少なくとも2位は確実でした。最終ラップだと知らずにゴールをクルーズして、結局5位でした。それでも、この種のレースではポディウムに立てたことは事実です。戦略が実を結び、昨年よりも平均速度が2km/h遅くても、私はこのレースを非常に成功したものとして振り返っています。ペロトンの中で隠れて引っ張らないようにしていました。ある時点でペロトンが伸びてきたので、前に進むことを決めました。それは私がもっと引っ張らなければならなかったことを意味していましたが、非常に短く引っ張り、いくつかの引っ張りをスキップしました。とにかく、この方法で正しいタイミングで前に飛び出すことができました。すべてが完璧に機能しました。たくさんのエネルギーを節約しました。しかし、その後...何故かレース主催者が最終ラップであることを明確にしなかったため、スプリントはありませんでした。とてもイライラしました。ゴールラインを越えると、非常に怒りました。これは勝利になり得たはずです。とにかく、改善は明らかです。次のレースを楽しみにしています。
This was my second Tsukuba circuit race. Last year I planned 9th. So, my motivation for improvement, perhaps even the podium, was high. During the race I did everything right but unfortunately I didn't know when I was in the last lap. I had perfect legs and would have had a great sprint perhaps for victory but certainly for second place. Not knowing it was the final lap I cruised over the finish but still made 5th place. Still podium as a matter of fact for this kind of race. Considering that my strategy came to fruition and also that I improved by 4 places with an average speed 2km/h slower than last year, I still see it, in retrospect, as a very successful race. I was hiding a lot in the bunch and didn't pull too much. At some point the peloton stretched out and I made the decision to move up. That meant I had to pull more but I kept it very short and also skipped some pulls. Anyway, this way I was at the right place at the right time when the front jumped away. Everything worked out perfectly. I saved a lot of energy. But then...no sprint because for some reason the race organizer didn't make it clear that we were in the final lap. So annoying. Crossing the line I was extremely angry. This could have been a victory. Anyway, the improvement is obvious. I am looking forward to the next race.
