Woolf Posted July 18, 2012 Share Does anybody know of a way I can improve my starting time? I haven't ridden a race in over two years and am unseeded, but my previous 94.7 times were all in the sub 2.45's. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can improve my starting time? Thank you for any feedback. Good luck to everybody racingYou could join our charity bond and start before the unseeded cyclists about 8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona Kula Posted July 18, 2012 Share you need a big pill of HTFU , that all ( if you want to go fast that is ). this year i will break the sub 3 on my SS , its piss and boaring on a road bike but a SS mtb makes this race fun again and interesting .I am planning on breaking sub 3 on the SS too. Any idea where you will be starting from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Posted July 18, 2012 Share I am planning on breaking sub 3 on the SS too. Any idea where you will be starting from? they normally seed me with the Vets . they did it last year and i just dropped back to a lower group ( E ) as its no fun with them on a SS .will see where im seeded again this year and drop down to a group that normally has about a 30 AVG ( that was my Avg last year). i have not entered yet so not sure .

Dexter-morgan Posted July 18, 2012 Share A question for the regulars here, last year I did a 3:57 (my second race) and want to aim for sub 3:30 this year, what time would I start with a time like that?? any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean32 Posted July 18, 2012 Share I am definitely capable of a sub 3, how do I go about joining the group? Not sure if this will work seeing that you havent done a race in two years. But if you did have a few races this yr you can buy a full racing Lic and then you get seeded in the racing Cat. This does however cost a bit of money for one race.

Spinnekop Posted July 18, 2012 Share D-M.....not sure where you will start but I won't be too bothered about that if I were you.I helped a few guys on my second lap last year to get a 3:28 and we started DEAD last. So possible! It is just harder work because there are not too many guys to draft behind and catch a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ispeed_V Posted August 23, 2012 Share Part of the cow stampede again this year. Considreing the lack of training, may end up spending more time grazing on the side of the N14 Sandro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
