Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport Challenge (Page 52)

roni_runnw - 2009-05-17 12:23 PM Going to Walla Walla today to swim and bike the course for my Oly next weekend

MDHillSlug - 2009-05-17 3:06 PM I finished my 40 mile ride today but it was tough. The first 24 miles were into headwinds and also had lots of climbing; I averaged less than 12mph for this. After taking a break and having a snack I was finally getting a bit of a tailwind and my mph average climbing a lot (over 16mph). Along in here I realized I had a car just to my left pacing me; I look over and it's a cop. He has his window down and tells me that I need to be riding closer to the white line so that the cars can get by. I said "Yes sir" and he went on his way. This really irks me because this was not a very safe manoeuver for me and because I believe that he was wrong. It's my understanding that I'm entitled to take the entire lane if I so desire. I was not about to debate it with him right then

Was it as windy as predicted? Looks like the wheels fell off during the second run but I'd still kill to run that fast!

Artemis - 2009-05-17 4:43 PM My tri turned into a du and had a delayed start.  It was really windy and wet on the bike, so I was a little slower than I wanted to be.  But, I finished and I didn't crash!  That's the important thing. 

Working on my race report.  No official results yet, so I won't post until those are available.

MDHillSlug - 2009-05-17 5:36 PM Hi,

Good job, can't wait to read it

We had a couple people who didn't log their training this week - I added it in.

Also, did I read correctly that races get to count for double?  If so, that puts me a lot higher on biking.

As per the rules bricks count 1.5x, races count 2x. Update the log and it will get counted in for next week/final totals.

It was soo windy, 20 to 32 mph winds ... Sucks that the ITBand did act up during the last 2.5 because I had a pretty good time overall. 

toddg - 2009-05-18 2:18 AM I updated my swim goal from 20k to 26k for the month. Heading out of town Wednesday morning for a week so won't get much swimming in, but two more 3k sessions and a little extra the last week of the month will take care of the new goal.

toddg - 2009-05-18 2:20 AM Long weekend of house work done and some training.  Had a great bike ride tonight after sundown.
