have to say a lot of it was counter productive. all bumping does is slow you down. the only time you don't want to get passed was during race 3. in all the other heats, if the guy behind you is faster, you should've let him pass so you can:

1. copy his line
2. use him to pace you

of course both 1 and 2 are moot if the guy behind you is a lot faster, but if that's the case, you should have moved over anyway...

right Jacob?
I'm not so sure it was bumping. Normally I keep clear of any of that sort of thing (I did get involved in little bit of bad behaviour on Sunday I have to admit) and still get bruised. I think most of it comes from sliding around in the seat. My 'bruises' started life as very sore patches that looked like abrasions.
