LEAVING THE STATION

Quick post today.  After several months trying to explain the fine details of a leadout to a few of the guys I'm coaching, I think it's finally starting to click!  Tuesday Night's example was close to text book.  

Watch Geoff bring up the speed in a smooth, linear fashion, negotiate the corner carefully, but keeping a high speed through the apex, then snaps open the throttle and starts moving us up the peloton.  I'm on his wheel, while our sprinter (Colin) is sitting on, looking pretty, glued to my wheel, ready to unleash his explosive power in the final 50 meters.

Unfortunately, our group came up on a slower category in the final stretch, and we were asked to do several more 'final laps.'  In doing so, chaos ensued.  Is this the final lap?  No, this one.  This one?  NO.

Regardless, stoked on the power these guys laid down.
