| Regular 105 Maryland | Subject: RE: Savageman HIM I just signed up for this race. I was scheduled to race The Patriot's Half in Williamsburg but they cancelled that due to Hanna. Although I've heard that this course is tough, I'm excited to race it. Good luck to everyone! Edited by dnp72178 2008-09-08 8:49 PM |

Master 3546  Millersville, MD | Subject: RE: Savageman HIM Good lcuk to everyone! I really wish I was able to mqake it this year, but a family wedding in MT directly interferes with the scheduling.
Here's an archived thread that's worth a read - links to some race reports from lots of different people (including my entirely too long RR) to give you an idea of what the race is like: Edited by JoshKaptur 2008-09-09 9:12 AM |

Extreme Veteran 981 Maryland | Subject: RE: Savageman HIM I can handle uphills, but I'm getting kind of worried about the downhills. I am not all that excited about my bike getting out of control going down steep inclines. Also starting to wonder, as I peruse the 2007 results, about some people who I know are great athletes, who DNFed. Like Mayor Fenty? How could he DNF? He and someone else I know of both finished the bike and yet DNFed. What are you guys going to wear on the bike ride? It's darn cold for a bike ride. |

I've been thinking about that --- there is a clothing drop in Westernport, which is the beginning of the climb. I think I'm going to wear my tri top with a long sleeved fitted tech shirt over it. I'll also have my arm warmers ... |
