For example, they may last three minutes at 90% effort, twenty minutes at 80% but an hour at 70%. You probably won't know how to pace yourself as your everday riding probably involves stops at corners and regular breaks. If you consciously decide to ride at a medium pace for an hour without a break you will probably find yourself exhausted for sooner than expected. Try riding non-stop for one to three hour lengths and at different speeds to learn how to pace yourself. That adrenalin rush at the start is part of what makes racing exciting, but too much in your system quickly leads to fatigue, arm pump, and bad riding technique. At the start and throughout the race, remind yourself to stay calm and breathe - it's funny how often fatigue can be from riders holding their breath when they give in to that adrenalin rush! A lot of coaches and experienced racers say you need to remind yourself that racing is meant to be fun. Keep saying this to yourself and you will ride better, avoid arm pump and ride well. It also develops your mental resilience as you won't have your confidence shattered if and when you do crash and make mistakes.
