Sometimes upwards of a 5k loop. In a sport where seconds count, a 9 minute loop sucks. I know it is our responsibility but man, when it happens you just feel like lashing out.lifein360https://www.blogger.com/profile/10638499903180904717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109501634336541211.post-58632539924159937912010-07-26T18:04:37.863-06:002010-07-26T18:04:37.863-06:00I once did an extra lap in an indoor track meet.

I was sort of pissed, as I saved my kick for that last lap. Not that it made a huge difference in the results. But still.<br /><br />Nice result. I think if I raced on the road, I'd just get impatient and go on solo breakaways every week. They'd never stick.Grizzly Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216018097001642270noreply@blogger.com
