you don't want to be at 175bpm in the first mile because you were sprinting to the startline - trust me!!

Wait, you're NOT supposed to be sprinting to the line? I thought 'panic' was all part of the warmup process.

One of my most memorable crits was me arriving late and being so angry about wasting all my energy riding to the start of the race, I just shot off the front at the flag drop. Ended up lapping the field and winning.

It actually worked out in my favour tbh, I got to the line only about 2 seconds late, but had a 25mph running start as the TK waved me through!

Definitely felt the effort 5mi later though..

Haha yeah I've done just about every version of fucking up a TT you can do.

Missed my start by minutes but filled a position down the line and done the flying start through the starters. I think it was on an F course. Can't really remember the race or result but I think it was north London.
