I think you missed my point: those at your speed and most of the rest of
us skiing different races, which mitigates the mass vs interval start difference in citizen racing. Gene "Bjorn A. Payne Diaz" wrote: Gene, when I started racing (at age 29), mass starts were the way. My first race was the Birkie, and after completing a couple of those, I added the Pepsi and Pre-Birkie. Then I skied the TC Championships which was a true pursuit race (interval start by twos) and loved it. A few years ago Murphy had an interval start race and about 5 of us finished within 15 seconds. Of course interval start races have their own problems. I had an early starat on a very cold day, and a few extra degrees probably would have helped the glide. There's falling snow and in long races and pack tactics by people who started at different times. Jay |

I wanted to add one more thing to this history aspect. Whats one way
bikes races build history? Successful breakaways!!!! If the race is gonna end in a sprint every year, you're gonna have problems. Just a warning for the XC mass starts... |
