Interval stopping puncture occurring at min 59/60 is clutch enough

Another wild neutral with someone crashing in the first five minutes of the rollout and literally trying to hang onto me as they fell. 

Felt like we were already fighting to get in position for Sugarbush, which was reasonable because that was a hard effort. Looking back at the numbers, it was crazy to do my 2nd best ever 10min power and still see like 50 guys around me. In the race it definitely blew my confidence and I started feeling like I had to anticipate the race. 

Saw an opportunity in the run-in to Middlebury but the group ended up bringing us back, possibly from teams just trying to position riders well into the climb. Regretted that effort because I feel like the few minutes around threshold I spent in that move would've helped me crest Middlebury with the pack. Instead I got dropped around 500m from the summit. Chased on the descent and almost made it on at the end of the descent but didn't have enough in the tank to close those last few seconds. Chill ride to the finish with some other guys.

Definitely a disappointment to not make it to app gap with the front group but good to experience that level, make that mistake and hopefully learn from it in the future.
