I'm gradually getting my head lower when sprinting, but still have a ways to go. Not close to having the sprint be automatic; I have to really focus to get things right, which is tough while also paying attention to the tactical situation. As CDR points out frequently, there are few things as important as being able to go really fast, regardless of whether you sprint for the win or go OTF. Speed will be one of my major off-season goals this year. From my experience thus far, the key seems to be a combination of strength training (on and off the bike), form practice, and of course all out sprints both in training and in races. In addition to just getting faster, I want to increase the distance I can hold that speed. Nothing worse than being nipped at the line.
