Re: endurance vs Natrc

["Becky Huffman" <tos@htcomp.net>]

You can practice pacing at home by riding a set distance within a time
frame, or even by having someone alongside with a speedometer until you
learn to feel it.  Once you have learned to pace yourself you can do so
regardless of the sanction org of the events you attend.
