Scott2luvit Posted September 25, 2012 Share any race is hard when you race it. But to go flat out for 6hrs is far harder than than to go flat out for 3 hrs Out of curiosity what was your average HR on the K2C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkFan Posted September 25, 2012 Share Improved my time by just over an hour from last year, so I'm chuffed. Did anyone else almost hit a photographer standing in the middle of the road on a corner coming down the (I think) second climb? What a dumbass...

fandacious Posted September 25, 2012 Share Out of curiosity what was your average HR on the K2C? lower than I would have liked. I wasnt strong enough to go on my own, so I ended up sitting in the group with the leading ladies most of the race. avg hr was 82% for the entire race. Normally its around 87% for a race. my LT is 91% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That oke stood around a blind corner, not clever at all, and we went past there at 50 or 60km/h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGR Posted September 25, 2012 Share Top speeds on the gravel down hills? I clocked 62km/hr but im sure there were some bigger units than me that must have gone faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott2luvit Posted September 25, 2012 Share I did 78.19 on endomondo and my Polar got a highest reading of 79.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted September 25, 2012 Share any race is hard when you race it. But to go flat out for 6hrs is far harder than than to go flat out for 3 hrs Compared to the K2C, the DC is a flat race, so you work so much harder for that 3hrs. (I'm in awe of guys that can avg around 30km/h on that route) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted September 25, 2012 Share Top speeds on the gravel down hills?

And I almost hit that photographer around that corner. Must say, I'm mightily impressed with the Juicy Three brakes I have on my bike. I was hurtling down the descends, trying to keep up with two old and very seasoned BMX riders. Late braking into corners was in the order of the day, but my brakes never failed, faded or wavered. So the people who say Juicy Three's is crap, I will definately differ from you. jungleplaya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I can get the wheel fixed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ the Expat Posted September 25, 2012 Share I finished in 3:50. It was my first k2c and this meant I had to start in group G. Mowing through the traffic at the first climb sucked. I Will be back next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted September 25, 2012 Share I did 78.19 on endomondo and my Polar got a highest reading of 79.8 I got a max of 80.4 on my gps. Sounds about right. We had no traffic so it was flat out on the downhills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
