I talk longer to recover than most people do due to my body taking longer to rebuild muscles that are torn apart during a hard ride. My medical issues are more related to core strength than endurance though.
I now know why I have such a hard time in crits... the constant accelerations wear down my muscles and I can not recover fast enough. Now since I have built up more core strength I can hang with the pack and if I can get a jump I can get off the front. I love hearing though about people who can go out and do very well in their first races. I just know it will take me a while to get there... I guess for now I am just a slow responder...
