so what are YOU built for?

I can climb pretty well also, I can do 18 up a moderate hill. A big hill slows me down to about 13.

you are fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on our local climb we all practice on.. i'm lucky if i can do 10 mph up it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i did breathless agony (12000 feet total of climbing)... there were times i was even as slow as 4 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was running I preferred sprints, as distance nothing longer than 5K. I ran plenty of 5 milers and 10K's, even trained for and did a 1/2 marathon and a marathon. The distance training killed me... my body hated the impact and I started resemling an AAMCO transmission ad, parts falling out everywhere.

With cycling I'm not sure yet what will be my stronger suite. I love speed, descending is a blast, climbing makes me swear like a marine. I just don't know... with my build (long/lean and gettin' older) I'm guessing climbing wouldn't be a natural fit.

clueless spazz

Spazz, I'd say you're the fast on the flats racer girl.

I have always had "ample" thighs - even at my skinniest - 110 pounds. When I'm in good form - I like climbing. I figure that's why I have these legs!

So far I seem to be extremely well engineered for falling off my bike
