It must be a youth thing. That's all I can figure![]() ![]() This is where the "it must be a youth thing" comes in. Fast-forward to West Old LaHonda and I'm pushing the pace a bit, but dropping nobody, including Kevin. Eventually Karl takes over and the pace increases further, with Kevin coming off the back a bit. Good excuse for me to drop off as well, not that I could have kept up with Karl & George anyway. And then, about halfway through the forest, Kevin takes off. I mean really takes off. Within seconds he's on the trail of Karl and George up front, aiming to challenge for the final sprint up to Skyline (which George won). How does he do it? Where did he find that afterburner? I've watched the video of him taking off several times, and it's just mind-boggling. Could I do that back in the day? Maybe. One of my "duties" in races was that of being the "gap closer", the guy who has to chase down anybody who went off the front. Not sure how an assigned task could become inherited behavior though! |
