After using a scatter plot to try and select the best cyclist, I entered a pulic group that was open to all participants. At the end of the event I finished 28th out of 305 and I gave up before the last two stages (I had benched the winner of the final two stages - I knew better but I also suspected that I couldn't win overall so I didn't login to change my roster).
This was better than I expected, but did the scatter plot reall help? How can I determine if a random selection would have been better or worse? Maybe the only way to test this is to try again next year with a few different techniques - if I could replicate these results two years in a row, then maybe I'd be on to something.
