At least 10 of my 30 metre advantage was as a result of me starting out wide, dashing across the bend, and settling into a nice spot by the time I hit the back straight, while you were battling it out at the tail end of the bunch wasting effort running around the outside of the guys that started to slow down over the final 2 laps. I suggest we do the 2000m race in late January ....... that could shift the advantage a little more towards your endurance ability.
