Memory loss during racing

I think you describe exactly what I experience


It sounds
like for you, the split-second gap would often be where you made a goo
move
(except you mention starting a sprint at 1 km to go instead of waitin
to
plan...was that a mistake in the end or a good thing?). To me, I fel
like the
gaps would mess up my finish---I'd miss the vital action.


I think it was a good decision, as only one guy overtook me. Had
waited for the sprint I would have been pleased with top 5. However,
did do some silly jumps when I was planning on keeping cool Someho
you end up riding 5-10 secs before the pack on a doomed mission
burning away reserves.

Actually, this year the jump 1km for the finish is the only succesfu
break I initiated myself. *sigh* I'm just a mediocre B-cat


But like you this fog never involved wobbling or bad riding. Also, thi
was
when I was in my 20's. Now that I'm in my 40's I think that this 'fog
MIGHT
include bad handling skills. Haven't been a contender in a last la
intense
crit action lately!


As far as I can see there is no direct link between lapse of memory an
being at full faculty. That you lost 20 miles of a car ride doesn't sa
you drove dangerous. But I admit, I really hate it when it happens t
me as well
