Who would win a sprint between me and Kirsten? That’s a very interesting question and I’m tempted to try it out. If it was one against one from low speed I’m quite sure she’d give me a run for my money as she’s very powerful. Her maximum power output is higher than mine so I’d have to win on top speed or aerodynamics. In a short sprint from low speed I wouldn’t put too much money on myself.
If it was at the end of a race I’d be pretty confident because endurance would play a big part. But I can’t deny I’d be a bit scared to lose if I’d had to sprint her for a victory.

“Another attack. I can barely see it. It must be a mile in front of me. Perhaps I have one more gear. I tap my right shifter– nothing. I need water. When is the last time I had a sip of water? I’m sure it’s been over an hour. I reach down to my bottle. I know it’s empty as I lift it, but I try anyway, in vain. I’m on the wheel of the Columbian National Champion. Just stay on her wheel, just stay on her wheel, I tell myself. She takes a sip of water, and a few drops splash back to me. I open my mouth to see if I can catch just one drop, thinking it might buy me 30 seconds of survival. I can’t believe how hot it is, wasn’t I just in the snow at home in Steamboat? My legs are screaming at me, I think I’m having an out of body experience…” — A Reflection on Gila by Amy Charity (Vanderkitten) - Cycling Illustrated
