What are typical finishing sprint speeds in races?.. I am guessing that the cat5-3 would be pretty closely bunched..

I find that the speed at which I start the sprint determines my peak of that particular sprint... This makes sense... Quite conceivably in a race situation one would find a wheel to suck and run it for the finish line...

I am trying to get a feel for an actual race sprint... Or atleast guess where I am in realtion to an actual race sprint... I know I gotta work a lot but then I just want a little comparison point to see my progress...

Disclaimer... I am not a good sprinter.. the best i managed is 33 MPH starting off from 25MPH... On an average I find that I gain about 7MPH from my starting speed...
