Warm up for 10' before the race, make sure your bike is shifting properly and nothing is loose or rattling. Check tire pressure and set your bike in the right gear for the start of the race. Take the first 5 miles out easy, and ease into the ride. Remember to eat/drink during the ride.
Comments and Definitions
Pickups - Short repeats at a 5K pace with recovery in-between. Each 'repeat/stride' should be about 20-30 seconds long and allow for a full recovery in between. Make sure you are properly warmed up-at least 10 minutes before the first. You are looking to get in about 45 left OR right foot strikes per 30".
