How many papers are there showing an even pace is most effective.
Go Sarah Go, Go Kiwi!!! Hamish Ferguson "Andy Coggan" wrote in message ink.net... "Carl Sundquist" wrote in message ... 3:26 is simply incredible. Same for LZVM and Mactier. Ulmer's splits were : 1:12.8, 6.9, and 6.6 I don't see any reason why she couldn't easily break 4:40 for a 4k. Anybody know what the environmental conditions were during qualifying? Mactier smoked the first k in 1:10.6 Still hasn't learned, has she? ;-) Andy Coggan |

Well since you're being nice about it, the local NBC station is supposed to show more cycling (pursuit?) at 12:30 am Monday (Sunday night). How am I supposed to recover from racing and training if I'm watching cycling at midnight?! -WG Hey, I'm always nice about it! I did just see the team sprint final. Germany wins, but Japan looked pretty good. It looked like the German guy who started in the gate lurched about 4 inches forward before he started pedaling. They also just showed Brad v. Brad in the 4k pursuit. It looked like McGee would be able to pull back the early time loss but he just didn't have it in him. But he's had a pretty respectable season so far. -- tanx, Howard I'm Mr. Nice Guy, me. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

However, there is at least one paper indicating that starting as fast as Mactiear does is likely costing her time: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q..._uids=10668763 Since the results of this modeling study are consistent with both known physiology as well as actual practice, I don't see any reason to question it. That's particularly true since based on reports it appears that Mactier has been sticking to her guns and not even experimenting with different pacing strategies. Andy Coggan |

Just watching the replay again....almost looked like Sarah tried
deliberately to blow the Aussie up...she had an even faster start than Mactier, dropped back to +0.9 at the first kilo and then just took off after 1500 and took 3 seconds in 1km. Listen to her breathing at the end of the warm down laps - totally on the limit. |

I'd be pretty surprised if the UCI and IOC don't go out and measure the track before it gets used for a big event. -- tanx, Howard I'm Mr. Nice Guy, me. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |
