Yeah, the first quarter mile is always the hardest.
I was at a Mount Snow WC race in the early nineties and saw Brian Lopes (who was racing XC for fun the day before the DH) ride through the feed zone, take a water bottle, get a drink, change sunglasses, and continue up the climb mid-pack...wheelieing the whole time with a big grin on his face.
