Another 5:45am alarm to make the sprint start at 7am.
Using the beach road again with a 1km run up the idea is to hit the start of a marked 200m course at maximum speed and maintain it until the finish flag. Easier said than done! Most sprint too early (I almost did but realised and slowed again). At my speed, hit it at 200m (thanks Barney) and keep going even when it hurts. So sporting a really bad headache, thats what I did. Max gear and over spinning saw me at 24.5mph on my speedo, and I think I kept it all the way through as I was focusing hard on the finish line. Bike was running well.
After it was over, cycle back to the car and back for breakfast. Satisfied with the mornings work in a gusting crosswind which had the streamliners working harder.
Town centre, and last race later.
