Guest agteros Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Congrats Trubie! All that hard work i starting to pay dividends! It was not too pleasant for me, although riding back with the licensed ladies kinda made up for the rest of it
Trubie Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Ox, how was yr race?I must say, standing at the start waiting forever was made worth while, behind all those sexy butts yes.Catching them so soon, was not so good though. Yes, must say I am pretty happy with the condition at the moment.
Guest agteros Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I'll try and compile similair stats to yours, just busy with a reply on 32GI and Isolmaltulose elsewhere
Guest agteros Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I was kinda surprised when we caught up with the ladies at about 20km, at the finish some of them commented that they were having a tea party and not a race... nobody was willing to work at the front. MY race details compared to last year as follows: 2009 (C Bunch) 2010 (A Bunch) Time 03:08:52 03:20:41 Avg 34.95 32.89 Positions Gender 348/548 63.50% 235/451 52.11% Category 102/158 64.56% 69/133 51.88% Overall 389/674 57.72% 258/563 45.83% Start Bunch 3/108 2.78% 69/93 74.19% Guess it is not too bad after all, even with all the running and resultant lack of cycling I've done over the past few months... still not impressed with it though. Some more stats about the race (10km splits):# Dist time Split Avg Elev. Avg.

Guest agteros Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks, here is how the cookie crumbled and how things went pear shaped from 70km onwards: Dist 2009 2010 2010 vs 2009 010 0:16:15 0:15:03 -01:12 020 0:33:04 0:29:48 -03:16 030 0:50:01 0:44:04 -05:57 040 1:05:21 0:57:43 -07:38 050 1:23:20 1:15:51 -07:29 060 1:42:17 1:36:22 -05:55 070 1:58:19 1:52:51 -05:28 080 2:15:26 2:17:01 +01:35 090 2:33:11 2:37:40 +04:29 100 2:51:38 2:59:34 +07:56 110 3:08:52 3:20:41 +11:49 Now back to more fun sessions on the MTB, and for the 94.7
Trubie Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Its interesting to see the effect of the wind and the little ascents between 50 and 60
Guest agteros Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Very true, first real bump at 44, and then the 1/2 bump at 55. Forgettting the blip at 40. More granular, it looks like this: Dist 2009 2010 2010 vs 2009 Elev. chg. 005 00:08:19 00:07:35 -00:44 - 12 010 00:16:15 00:15:03 -01:12 - 13 015 00:24:41 00:22:51 -01:50 + 14 020 00:33:04 00:29:49 -03:15 + 9 025 00:41:59 00:37:19 -04:40 + 13 030 00:50:01 00:44:06 -05:55 - 18 035 00:57:39 00:50:40 -06:59 - 29 040 01:05:22 00:57:45 -07:37 - 22 045 01:14:40 01:06:17 -08:23 + 31 050 01:23:21 01:15:53 -07:28 + 27 055 01:36:13 01:30:30 -05:43 +156 060 01:42:18 01:36:24 -05:54 -156 065 01:50:35 01:44:10 -06:25 - 28 070 01:58:21 01:52:54 -05:27 - 30 075 02:06:57 02:04:33 -02:24 + 22 080 02:15:28 02:17:04 +01:36 + 29 085 02:24:20 02:28:05 +03:45 + 18 090 02:33:14 02:37:44 +04:30 - 14 095 02:42:46 02:49:00 +06:14 - 9 100 02:51:42 02:59:38 +07:56 - 14 105 03:00:26 03:10:28 +10:02 + 13 110 03:08:52 03:20:41 +11:49 + 11 Pity I missed the deadline Lost City though Oh well.... Gonna do the balance of the Nissan MTB Series and a few road events here and there.
Andyr249 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Data looks good Trubie and Ox! Ox, we catch the ladies about that point every year.
Guest agteros Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Data looks good Trubie and Ox! Ox, we catch the ladies about that point every year. Thanks Andy. I was a bit miffed with my time initially, but given my lack of riding, and for some obscure reason my better positional finish I should not complain too much I guess. Aaah well, back to the running again tonight
Andyr249 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 With admission exams my training has been less than ideal so I did the race as a training ride. How is the running going?
Guest agteros Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 With admission exams my training has been less than ideal so I did the race as a training ride. How is the running going? Tracking my progress using the Jack Daniels tables, and my VDOT is steadily increasing so it seems to be going reasonably well. Just need to start to work longer runs into the weekly schedule now
Andyr249 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Sounds good. I also need to start doing some running as training for my trip to Kili in September. Maybe I should try those time trials at Old Parks on Tuesday evenings that I used to do for athletics training in my school days.
owen62 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Can anyone please tell the the current start time of the Saturday and Sunday morning rides
