Looking at the power file from Bend...

Pac Crest was 29miles... Not sure how they averaged the bike, but I switched the PT on when I was across the timing mat.

Avg was exactly 20ow for the entire ride, 21.8 mph avg after I downloaded it tonight.

My FT is just north of 4 watts per kg, and the ride avg was 3 w/kg.. Unlike Boise I was pedaling down the hills, it was too windy not to, and not knowing exactly where I was I just had to go.

So, other fun details.. I was just off 2nd in my age group by 30 seconds ! :)

That's a water station that took too long or faster transition, or a faster swim.

Man, if I'd seen anybody w/a number on their leg in my age-division, lights out brother.

Also, a woman who raced the Half Iron the day before thought the buoys looked the same as the day before.. well, I was out there the day before and I thought so too. Maybe I'm crazy.

My time relative to others in my age group was just fine in retrospect, yes, I can and should get up near the front of the pack in races like this. Close but, no cigar.

I must be bored.. but this is what happens when you're a single triathlete. Post-bike I eat an huge pot pie to get some kcals, a light beer and hover over the 'net because that's life.

Oh boy, and to think.. Triathlon was initially a distraction.

Speaking of distractions the anonymous secret admirer stopped posting comments..

Come back, the other readers and followers missed you.. And, hey, it was a little female attention, so I'm not turning that down!
