I just found this blog online with video from Saturday’s race. I met John right after the race as he was parked right next to us on the street. It’s pretty impressive how he moved from the back all the way to the front pretty much straight through the middle of the pack. You can…
Anybody want a heart rate monitor? I have two available – one from 1995 and another from 2007! Why am I selling these? Well, I’ve upgraded to the Polar CS600 which supports wireless power measurement at 1s intervals (the Polar S725x only records at 5s intervals).
Summary for the weekend: 15th place (Stage 1), 18th place (Stage 2), 17th place overall for the GC. The top 8 places on GC were people who had gotten any time bonuses at all for either stage and then the rest of us were tied for time so they broke the ties by adding your…
