Hey Mike

I just saw this thread. Good effort! I was a commissaire the day of the Centennial Park races. Think I was in driving the lead commissaire car for that race.

Crap day huh! You guys had the worst of it though. I did same race 2-3 years ago and picked up a showbag full of sponsors products for 2nd place - couple of St George juniors worked me over in final lap or two - cunning little buggers...

In a short race the cramps are most likely you not used to the intensity along with an inferior preparation that morning/previous day. Pre-race fuelling and warm up helps. Also an easy ride the day before with a few short hit out efforts < 1min helps to open up the legs a bit for the next day.

Finally - especially in short races (< 1hr) start at the front. You don't have to ride on the front but at least that way you aren't killing yourself in the 1st km and can ease into the paceline/bunch as it builds up speed.

Enjoy your next series of races!
