Raced individual pursuit at LAVRA yesterday at VSC on the 250 track. For 50+ masters, the distance is 2k. I always tend to over cook the start and 2nd lap and slow down for the 2nd kilo. Today, I told my coach I was going to crawl along for those two laps. Mission accomplished but just a little too slow. However, I did increase the speed for each succeeding lap and posted a solid time for the first race of the series.
It is a great feeling to keep increasing the pace and hear faster lap times called each lap versus hearing slower times while feeling the legs loading up unable to accelerate the pace.
