haha, yeah he does. cdr - that's great, thanks. i should probably have said this in the first post but i'm a stereotypical climber. decent power to weight at threshold and VO2max but not much above that. i have all the sprint of a dying snail. i'm just trying to figure out how to do a little better given what i have. even if i'm not going to win, it'd be nice not to lose so many places in the last 400m. not saying i'm gonna sprint for 30th place or anything, but it'd be nice to get 5th instead of 15th some of the time, or even 10th instead of 20th.
rkwaki - thanks in advance. i'm racing collegiate B right now. USAC cat 4. just started racing last spring. did a few collegiate races in cat C plus two stage races over the summer in cat 4/5, upgraded, and i've done all 4 collegiate weekends so far this season in B.
