My best was last year. I never win sprints, I tend to go too early. But I was in front and I heard some chatter behind me as we neared the town sign. I looked back and saw the best sprinter in our group, eyes squinting and "the look" on her face and I took off. I won by a wheel, maxed out at 30mph (compact crank) and heart rate hit 194. I was cooked for at least five miles. But as Psimet says, "It was so worth it."
