panicked clipping-in efforts
I've seen a few of these, which given the two races and socially distanced queueing means nearly half the people I've watched starting. Everybody was told a week before the event that they would be starting with one foot on the ground, so I'm mystified that those who didn't have confidence that they could get clipped in before applying the first support-foot power stroke didn't spend at least a few minutes practising.
In other news I actually got out and raced last week (albeit our Club 10). Was so nice to stretch the legs, though the ‘no holder’ rule at the start lead to some interesting panicked clipping-in efforts - something everyone will have to get used to I guess!
