really Adrian?

do you mean road or track?. I won my state road titles by a sprint. Doug was the time trial and pursuit rider and i was the sprinter (when you guys moved up to the next grade). I couldn't really do anything else apart from sprint. As for track - in my last year i finished second to Benny Kersten in the sprint at the state titles, then never rode again.
I don't know how i'd go in a road race now - I raced a couple of crits and found that i was too puffed at the end to even contest a sprint - that's why i need to get some fitness first - but that's unfortunately a slow process when you work too many hours to train.
