We normally go fastest kilo is 3 overrides fastest 200m is 2, next fastest 200m is 2; after that most experienced guy goes 2, provided he is not the kilo guy. So I am guessing based on the kilo times I have seen from you ... you will be riding a lot of 3s.

April LAVRA TTs at Carson, CA - Roger Young asked me if I would ride 4K team pursuit with three women (including my wife). Absolutely, that was the best offer I have had in a long time.
Here is the starting line up. Roger Young is holding me 2nd from the starting gate.

My wife leading.
It was a blast racing and we all finished together and did the individual pursuit about 10 minutes later.

But- Lap 2 is the teams opportunity to get up to its highest speed-
and 2nd position is harder than most people think, because you get less cover and no rest. if the team doesn't get up to their highest possible speed- and hold it really close to there until man 2 pulls off- there is nothing a good Kilo guy can do. lap 3 in a TS or Kilo is about speed maintenance.. drop me off slow and i am not going to be able to speed up.

I get that putting the fastest Kilo guy on 3 is what happens in masters racing...and Im usually fine with it- because i feel like i can be most effective there (er- ask my Teammates how that worked out)

We just had a 'beat a track record' day at our local track here in London Ontario, and Mr. Singleton's name was on a few. Needless to say, his records did not fall

That was fun to watch jmikami....and many of us were surprised at the outcome. And of course there is a photo of me losing the scratch race by a wheel, but no photos of me a half lap in front of the field for the whole entire miss and out race.
