It was fun volunteering!  My wife and I had a good time cheering the riders on!  It may have motivated the wife too.  It wasn't miserably hot and so many of the riders seemed to really like all the cheers and well wishes!

Ready for the century?  I am just looking to log the miles and spend the time in the saddle.  It is more of a mental strength builder for me than a physical experience.  It will be tough, I am sure of that...but I am only looking to avg 17-18, and just build the confidence of being in the saddle for 6+ hours.  There will be other opportunities to push the pace over that distance for IMFL in the coming weeks.  For my first century, I thought it would be good to have a supported ride to go out with. 

New cranks felt good... much smoother.  Now if I can get new bars & a new Adamo... I should be on track for better time on the bike.

evondo - 2009-07-14 9:02 AM Being the nosy person I am I looked at those results and you did come in 2nd in the AG... The girl that won your AG according to compuscore actually got 3rd overall, so she got that award not the AG award Congrats!

Trin2bfast - 2009-07-14 8:50 AM I was eyeing the vision base/aero set up... Fattyfatfat has a brand new setup that came with the new bike (never mounted) used other bars I guess.  I am gonna look at those and see if that is what I want.  If not, then I WILL definitely be checking out the TOTR offer.  Maybe I could meet you up there one afternoon (you and Mike seem to have a much better raport with them then I do).

KelliD - 2009-07-15 9:38 AM Today started off with an event you hear about happening, but you're never there or never think you'd be around to witness this happen.  On the subway on my way to work this morning a guy jumped in front of our train.  I generally sit in one of the first few cars, and by the time the train stopped (pretty quickly) the guy was between the car I was in and the one behind.  Shockingly, he was still alive....but threatening to grab one of the rails that was still live.  I didn't stick around and the police were clearing out the station, so I don't know what ultimately happened.

KelliD - 2009-07-15 4:05 PM Just found out there was a 2 min error between the swim and run time from the race on Sunday.  My total time is the same....phew   When I came out of the water I quickly glanced at my watch and could have sworn it was around 15 min, so I was a little surprised when I later saw it listed as 17 min & change.  Lo and behold I was right!  Instead of 17:11, my swim time was 15:11 (1:44/100!).....this also means that I was running an 8:24 pace, not 7:45....which I thought sounded insane to begin with.

Nice pic kelli!

After reading your insane subway story yesterday I heard this country song on the radio that made me think of you.

The chorus went something like:
"God is great, beer is good, people are crazy"

Hi everyone.

evondo - 2009-07-16 2:56 PM You need to leave that kind of talk in NY

Woho! You'll love the race and hopefully the weather is nice for us.  Guess I should actually sign up for the race already, huh?
