laps will probably be one to two miles, you'll start with everyone else in your class. instead of set mileage or lap numbers, you race for a set amount of time, i.e. 30 minutes or so. So lets say you race beginner, you'll do laps until the 30 minute mark, at which point the bell will ring and you'll be told one lap to go. Whoever finishes first wins, as long as that person has done as many (or more) laps than everyone else in the group. Cool thanks. So i take it they ring the bell as you pass the start finish line? Its gotta be tough to keep on top of who is in the lead, big props to the race coordinators.
Does anybody have any advice for a first time short track racer? Sprint untill i throw up, and then keep on going? |
