I too know the feeling Hermes! That's just sprinting and the risks that comes with it. The first year I did Nationals they started us on both sides of the track with a 15 mph wind. Luck would have it that my side got to do two straights into the wind while the other side only one. The first 5 placers started on the other side. The following year on the 400 meter track we all started at the same place and I chose the wrong gearing for two straights into the wind.
Let's focus on next year and finding the third guy for our team sprint!
