They'd start to come around me and then I'd jump again. They'd tuck back in, and as I "faded", they'd do another jump. Then, after (usually) two semi-jumps, I'd jump for real. I won a bunch of sprints this way. I can't say I invented this - Tom Broznowski won Nationals like this, with a triple jump, killing the superstar favorite in the sprint, and that's the first time I heard of such a sprint in detail.

I love doing this. I have a couple cool power files that go pretty distinctly from 800w to 1000w to 1300w. At 800 and 1000 I'm still in look-around mode, see who's still there, then 1300 is head down hopefully gone.
