Sunday March 30 Rides

KG: When is the race? Those times sound great! And that's not accounting for the adrenaline rush that will take you another 1-2 mph faster yet!

August 17th. It's a sprint tri. My first.

The bike loop is pretty good, lots of downhills and fast flats, but i has one ugly climb near the beginning that is a 10% grade (maybe .5 km long?). I couldn't stay above 11 kmh on that part today. Luckily, there is a bit of a gradual downhill after the climb so you can spin it out a bit before you hit the next hill... (The oly guys have to do that loop 4 times - ugh.)

I don't know if an adrenyline rush will help, but hopefully a new carbon bike will shave a bit of time off there...
