competition ergs

Post by jcastro20111 » March 3rd, 2011, 5:09 pm

I have noticed this with myself and with others. During competitions, the new ergs that are used feel so smooth at the pull that it tends to fool the competitor into thinking they can pull lower splits. Has anyone else noticed this?

Those are new and clean, and that is what you feel, I like it, but in the end it doesn,t matter and does not change my race pace.
