Harpoon TT this sunday

I'm in the last one - the 5:45 heat.  Hopefully that's the slowpoke-heat.

ice and snow on the ground will keep me from riding....

but I am HOPING to make it to master's in the morning....

Harpoon/Fast Splits 15k Indoor Time Trial

Fixed it ^^^^^

I did an hour and 20 mins or so outdoors last Sunday, the weather was awesome but by the time I got home I had a mud stripe up my back, and my feet were soaked right through the shoe covers and shoes but it was still awesome to be comfortable on the bike outside for that long!

I would like to do this TT to see how I will fare in the Multisport Expo TT as I am already having my doubts about that one since I am nowhere near where I would like to be as far as bike fitness goes.

As long as it is above 40 Sunday I will be riding outdoors getting wet and muddy again and loving it!

On the way to the Mass Pike after the last gathering I was wondering, where do people in the city ride. It doesn't seem like there are any open roads without a busy intersection that you can get down on the aerobars and just crank. Do you drive somewhere, or just ride out of the busy parts of the city and use that as a warm up?

Woah.... crap.  I just got an email that they totally changed the heats!!!!  The email says you may be up to an hour different, but now I'm at 2:15!  Um, that's a little more than an hour.  Time to shuffle around the calendar again...

Heats seem to now be comprised of 16 computrainers instead of 8, but somehow I'm still in a heat of 7... That's nice-- now I'll come in 7th in the heat instead of 16th

straight out Beacon and keep going - in and out of aero 

Meanwhile my heat is now the last one at 4:30 - hope they are close to on time.....the kids come home at 6:30!

Wait, wait... the MOST IMPORTANT THING:  Winner of each heat gets a CASE OF HARPOON!!!!

ok, so maybe I won't come in dead last...  seriously all I need is a carrot... especially if that carrot is actually a beer (or 24) 

There is one woman in my heat who I REALLY want to beat - not sure I can but I sure will try!

Nice!  What heat did you get?

It says there are a few open spots left. I was thinking about joining in. I am just weighing my options here. $30 to register, $10 in tolls, I'm guessing I will have to pay to park somewhere, and 2 hours in the car round trip, or just stay home and ride outdoors for an hour and a half or so.

 Maybe I can just do my ride in the morning and come to cheer all of you BT'ers on!

My email said parking is free for participants, so that shouldn't be a worry.  If you can get in, I'll glady buy you (or your lovely lady if she were to join you) a drink after, but no worries if it's a pain in the arse.  And if you end up in my 'general' heat, you are guaranteed not to be in last!

But, yes - I understand weighing the options... I'm in because I'm local., I know how much I will appreciate the two free drink tokens after the race and lastly because I need to get a handle on how limited my bike fitness really is.  Mostly because I need excuses to spend some time at one of my favorite breweries.

Just saw this thread...I'm in, part of the 10:30 heat.  I'll be halfway through my free case by the time you guys start your heats . 

(Just kidding...but I will finish my two free beers by then)
