Worth a look to learn a bit about bike aerodynamics.
Likely to bring some doubt to what you think you might know.

14:27:06

Yup, that was my time from this past weekend's IMUSA.
Not the greatest time ever by any stretch but I'll take it considering where I was one year ago. Now it is time to rest up and put in a few more days of training until the next Ironman on Sept. 5.
The ugly details of the race are documented below.
Nice swim and nothing much else.

How to ride responsibly?

It only makes sense to me to behave nicely while out riding on the roads. I've never littered, given anyone the finger, etc. However, I know there are a lot of rider who do and spoil it for the rest of us. Think "Pay it Forward" and treat drivers well and maybe they too will treat the next rider they see much better.

Anyway, have at look at this from Coach Patrick. I could not have said it better.

That is the new world record time for a woman at the Ironman distance. This was set to today by the phenom - Chrissie Wellington at Quelle Challenge Roth. Quite a wicked athlete.

I rode 76km and ran 6km today. Now its time to get back to course work, magazine work, and Newsletter stuff.

Have a great week.
