Notas do Editor

  1. Tell the story of BoP
  2. Lead and pace - stablished an early lead. Paddling at max for as long as possible. Even pace- fist half at less than max and second half at high intensity. If conditions deteriorate the plan can be affected. Negative split - ideal for long races. Progressive build up of speed. Very difficult to implement.
