Rollapaluza BHM 2012 Thurs 23rd Feb

dude I was waering skin tight/impossible to move in jeans, too many layers and I ached like f**k from the birmingham round, positioning on the bike, I don't think would of helped me, not going out for the cigarette 30seconds before the race may have had more of an impact, but your advice is noted and if I ever do it again i'll try and sit straight, at the time the crouching right up really helped tense my torso so power through to my legs

I think it's instinctive to get down low as it's what you'd normally do on a bike. I did it in my first roller race too. And possibly more after that.

Not sure if getting maximum power is that important though as there's so little resistance, and at high cadence/low resistance power output isn't very high at all (if you look at a power graph of a person sprinting in a hard gear, power is highest at zero velocity and then drops rapidly as the velocity increases). Smooth technique is key, as well as keeping your legs fed with oxygen. I guess a load of sugar just before would help too
