Also when remounting, do not, under any circumstances look at the bike. It’s in your hands, it’s not got longer or shorter and the saddle is exactly where it’s always been. Look ahead, straight down the course.
Remember, rear wheel follows front wheel. Front wheel follows eyes. Looking underneath your groin at the bike means your front wheel has no idea where to go and you are far more likely to wobble and crash.
I thought that might be the case when playing around, did manage to miss spectacularly on one attempt though, which almost left me sans shorts...
