thank you so much this, now it makes a lot of sense to me, altgough it feels that i am running on only 50% ( as opposed to your 30%) for the first 20km after starting cold. I also have to wait fro my " second breath" to really get going. A t the argus Edinburgh drive or the very aptly name Herat break hill is my nemises. It is only afte this that i reall get going. So i am convince now that a warm start is essentail. thankx once again.

thanks smart alec. i dnot have space at home for a st. benard.

thanx a stax it is much appreciated. i will try some warm up prior 2 race start. I have often seen pros on their trainers at the race start. I am a social rided and and ride to keep fit and most importantly enjoy the sport. Hoever like every one else one always wnatas to improve you race time always.

I am a very slow starter and it usuallly take sme 35-45 mins to get into peak race condition on race days. I start the races cold. I require advise on what is the best way to get my body into maximum racing condiiton soon after start? all qualified advise willl be most appreciated. Rgds Deena
