Saturday crits @ Eastern. 4th.
32deg with a northerly = crosswind for the sprint.
Made a couple of attacks, got about 100m away but was reeled in... it really was too hot fer that sort of game so I sat in the first 5 for most of the race. Chased down a couple of half-hearted breaks (I don't think anyone could really be stuffed)

I made a few glaring mistakes... we got the bell a lap or 2 earlier than I expected and was caught dawdling down the back polishing orf a bidon so had to pass most of the field before the sprint.

Mistake 2 was being too tentative and waiting too long before sprinting. There were 6 guys around me, all sprinting pretty evenly, then 50 metres from the line, they started dropping like flies.
I was within an inch or 2 of 3rd.

At least I've learn't something.

Now, how do I get my sprint speed up? Any tips/examples on sprint intervals?
Today's was 53km/h...
