Jesus. I can't imagine maxing above 40 right now. I want to learn what I can do to work towards that. It just seems like an impossible goal right now. Average speed over 30 is my sprint lap. I feel like i'm a power racer and do well in chariots, pursuits, and anything under 6 laps. But once it hits 12+ laps i'm begging for oxygen dying in the back.
