Sounds good to me. Figuring pursuit out halfway is on my goal list right now (which I really need to actually write down). I'm even going nuts and actually getting aerobars for it. Well, that and to see what I can do in a kilo, just for kicks and giggles.

I was going to post that mine is 16.1 but as it was the only one i've done i decided to have another go a couple of nights ago hoping to get under 16 and managed to get 13.58. That was just a coach timing me rather than in competition.
Was pretty pleased with that improvement. Then i discovered my 16.1 was a flying lap not a flying 200 and i havent made any improvement at all

A girl, who was a newcomer to track, and a newcomer to our team decided to come with us. (I was in San Diego at the time). For the whole two months of preparation, she thought we were going to San Francisco, and was annoyed we bought a plane ticket for her, she kept insisting she could drive. I'm not totally sure when she figured out we were going to TX not San Francisco... but it was within the last few days before we left.
If everyone called things what they were, how would we ever get the opportunity to laugh so hard as we did when she admitted this!! haha

Yeah, if you do a kilo right, there won't be any giggling.
My favorite "Kilo Moment" was at 2009 Collegiate Track Nationals when David Espinoza finished his winning kilo, coasted back around to the home-straight apron and simply flopped over on his side...feet still in pedals.

haha!
Some of the guys I race with employ a 'catcher' for the end of kilos. Aka we follow them around the apron when they come off the track, ready to catch them when they can't turn the pedals over anymore.

I gave that some thought a month or 2 ago. Seems like the perfect place to do threshold intervals. Shouldn't need to change gears for those anyhow, and no stop signs/lights/cars to make me stop, just warm up, bust out 20 mins, roll around the infield for 5, bust out another 20 mins, warm down, and go home, or similar intervals. Seems like a great opportunity.

We really need a 'like' button on this thing.
Carleton, does this mean you are racing next season?

I'm changing a lot about my program (diet, training, etc...). I did pretty much the same thing for 5 seasons (in terms of volume and intensity) and had moderate gains. I'm now addressing Rule #1 of Masters Track Racing: Don't Be Fat.
I'm also changing how and when I train. Training like the pros just isn't feasible. I did it, and I realized that I sacrificed A LOT to do so. Plus I really think that I was over-training, either mildly or majorly at times. So, now I'm back to creating a solid work/training/life balance.

I'm eagerly awaiting the age adjusted 4k equation so I know what my goal should be. Of course I'm going to be trying this with aerobars for the first time this season, so I suppose if I get those sorted reasonably well I should probably make that improvement on position alone. I hope.
