Thank you Mimi! I had not heard this, and I've been working out some good targets for me this year. Last year I did fine with longer distances...until I reached 75 miles - that is when it all went to h*ll in a hand-basket and I developed my overuse injuries

Metrics are in my reach though, and once I renew my 2011 RUSA dues will determine if I want to establish a permanent here, or simply ride my favorite metric once a month unofficially. Where I tend to ride there are very few places in which to have a control.

Thanks for the encouragement
