Cross Technique

V10 asks:

I pondered whether it’d be prudent to hold back some in the first fifteen minutes of a race and then open it up hoping that I’d have enough energy to last til the end with the throttle wide open.

I wonder the same thing.

I have heard that the start to a cross race is critical to get into position. I suppose this is the case if you are one of the top guys and want to assure your place at the front early in the race.

However, if you are not one of the top guys would it be better to start is bit more conservatively and work yourself into the race picking off the other riders as the race goes along?

Is it better to chase or be chased?
