Negative is Positive
Despite good intentions, you may find it hard to control the pace when riding a long event such as a half century, metric or full century. For one thing, you're amped up. For another, when brisk pacelines pass it's tempting to jump on. A good defense is to schedule a negative split. This means riding the last half of the distance faster than the first half. It's an effective way to manage early energy and give a much better chance of finishing strong. When resisting going with the rabbits and stick to your personal pace, looking forward to reeling in many of those riders before the end.
