Could do depends how many of us there are. For about 6 we could quite easily do it all in one of our rooms if it's the same or similar hotel to last time I was there. However, I don't want to bring loads of paperwork out there with me as there is a weight limit on RyanAir. If you could make a session in London then that would be good and if someone could help me carry some of the paper out then that would help too.

This is pretty much ready for a run through if someone wants to be my guinea pig.

Apart from the preparation section I have aimed it purely at the thinking side of racing. Situations that typically arise during a race, trying to identify them and actions to take (or not) so you are equipped with a response to the situation that you can apply rather than think after the race, "Damn, that's where it went wrong, I'll do somehting else next time."

I though you were just going to do it; but if you want to, maybe run some(all) of it past us this weekend in France. If that's not possible talk to me then and maybe we can arrange something

Finished. The bulk of it was presented in Sardinia a couple of times and have updated it with some notes I made from the discussions. It's in the Library so available to members only for the time being. If it gets further refined then it can be distributed far and wide.

I am happy to go through this again for people that weren't there or missed it. Depending on the number of questions/people it takes 2½ to 3 hours to go through all of it. Alternatively, have a read and then ask me questions about things that are unclear. Some of it was written as a notes reference to me the rest is sort of essay style. It reads through the course of a race from preparation to finishing and then has some extra bits at the end for different races and equipment.

Enjoy. Very Happy

Thanks for presenting this Rick. I was glad that it prompted me of things that i knew, but didn't realise was significant.

The paceline section was particular useful for me: ie. if leading a line, pull out before you get tired AND your job isn't complete until you're back in the line.
