If not, there's a 99% chance we'll see you at Sebring.
Be safe!
Did you see me????
What a wacky, crazy race! I ended up with 216 miles (17 laps), but I stopped at around 9:30 this morning. I could have gotten two more laps before the race ended at noon, but I had no reason. I wasn't going to win (came in second) and things were starting to go numb (hands, big toe, bottom of right foot?) and traffic got insane. The start/stop finish was in a nice deserted area all weekend, until it became Grand Central for the Falcon's football tailgaters who started swarming aroun 8:00. It stopped being fun and became just annoying and dangerous, so I stopped.
People were putting in amazing lap times, but to do so, you had to really just ignore every bit of common sense with regards to playing in traffic. I don't play like that. So, I sat behind a line of cars and watched the top contenders just roll on by. Oh well. My goal was to see if my knee would hold up for over 200 miles, and it did. Elevation gain was between 13,000 (Garmin Connect) to almost 15,000 (Plus3) so I'm understandably whipped.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
