The I-Team

Re SBR. It would make a great get-fit or die-trying route, but is there enough scope for I-Team training ie pacelines etc? Or would that take place on the run to/from SBR?

Run to and from SBR I think.

 

Hard to do a paceline at SBR when you are bleeding from the eyes  :thumbup:

WRT the split times..

 

They were not far off.

 

For me, the split times need to be faster upto the M1. (Around 7mins)

 

Considering Monkey on a bianchi was 4 to 5 mins ahead of me at that stage. And 1 min faster on the last 20km strava segment.

Meaning he was 5 or 6 mins faster than me in total. And he missed it by 2mins. I missed it by 7 mins.

Lurch's sister....

Did she not rate Patches' behind enough to warrant taking a photo?

 

Edit: The photo is NOT for me, I'm asking for a friend  :ph34r:

Did anyone use the split time calculator?

Did it help, and more importantly... can it be improved?

I planned our ride on the 3:00 time, and we ended between 2:48 and 2:53. I also used the virtual partner on my Garmin, and while it showed we were behind for a large part of the ride, I kept faith with the data and it seems to have worked out well. My time was 2:49 (ride time) vs Racetec's 2:50 (took us 1:14 to cross the start).

 

Below is the comparison between the original 2:50 time I posted before and our small group's time.

Thanks, I used your calculator to set a 2:55:00 target, but only memorized a few of the key points like M1, Wilds, Witkoppen etc and was also initially behind, then went ahead and managed to hold on to most of the gains and it would seem pretty darn realistic. Thanks again. Some more data points for you if they help with your model. I also started in D and started my Garmin with the gun.
