You were awesome. It seemed like you got better on that guni as the week went on. Maybe, since we realized we couldn't catch your morning lead, we got slower. -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... - a few 'uni race write-ups' (http://home.nycap.rr.com/rduhan/uni_race_writeups/) - muni and kokopelli uni 't-shirts, mugs and stickers' (http://www.cafepress.com/steveyo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70532 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Re: RTL: How hard will it be?
I think I trained too much for distance. I found the distance quite easy, and I'm able to keep up a constant speed of 22km/h or so, but I just didn't have the ability to speed up like some of you did. I was going a lot faster by friday though. Having said that, having trained for distance was jolly useful on Monday/Tuesday when we basically only had two riders (and only me for the last part of Monday), for the 20km or longer stints that I was having to do solo. Muscles / energy wise I felt fine after the race, but then after all the partying / getting home stuff, I just woke up from sleeping for about 15 hours, I think it has taken its toll. It was great how Tuesday evening everyone was looking absolutely dead, Thursday evening everyone was looking pretty energised and ready to ride Friday. Basically I think it was quite hard, but it would have been way harder if I'd been that bit faster and more able to use the fitness that I have. Maybe if I'd had a higher gear I could have hurt myself more. I know if I rode a bike for 5 days as fast as I could I'd be totally dead.
