it is called a stop rest.
that's why i don't mind catching Red Lights at all.
it helps me release my muscles , then pump hard again to go as fast as car.
but if i don't catch a red light pause, for like 3 ~ 4 major intersection in a row, then i start to get tired.... well it is obvious, i'm still human
but yes everytime after a stop + a sip of water, i feel waaaaaay lighter again.

'happen to you? opposite of bonk? ... i don't think i would call it "the zone" ... but nice none the less.
