I hope to finish this race in a manner different than flatting half way through the race, and having a long walk across the park back to the start/finish.
Cat 4 roll call! Who else is sharing their "caboose" on the train or have aspirations to break away?
Also, anyone thinking of leading out rugby should read wrongway's post after the last L&C race detailing the "how to" of lead outs. He talks of having someone take charge of organizing the lead out. While I offer to take that role, it would help to have a few of us ready to take that role should we not all be together at that point.
@Ragot. Of course the numbers aren't very helpful... I found it interesting that they were rotating at the front - 15 second huge efforts. Coming into the sprint the lengths of effort go much longer (until implosion). Also interesting the amount of "throttling" — variation of power during each effort to maintain position at the front. And then really just how your last two leadout peeps need to be big sprinters in their own right.
@Wes If Saturday is anything like the last two races, the actual number of racers lining up in Kissena kits will be smaller than the number of Kissena members registered. We have not run the risk or dominating or overpowering the field. Having said that, feel free to opt in or out.
I'm also in with the 4s though KCC isn't showing for me cause Charlie added me to the registration list.
I'm currently sick, have a bad back and way behind on my training so the likelihood of my contributing at the end is slim. If I manage to make it to the end I'll gladly contribute though I should be one of the first in the train.
Pat, I'm in and will pitch in for the last KOM. I've seen a lot of successful breakaways happen here. Hopefully I'll be in the front at the end to contribute to the lead out as well.
