Hot to Trot

I raced in the Flora-Bama 'Hot to Trot' reverse duathlon this morning. After hashing last night, and getting in bed at about 0230, I was up at 0500 to outfit my bike and drive over. As usual, I was out-equipped. I don't even have road tires, much less aerobars or those snazzy carbon-fiber frames.

With a time of a just over 2 hrs, I took thrid in the u39 Clydesdale division. I would have won the Fat Tire group, but I also would have been the only entry. I really got hurt on the return bike leg - there was a strong headwind, and I am not nearly as aerodynamic as the other racers.
The best part was topping out at 28 mph coming down the bridge! That was pretty great.

Then I slept most of the day. Tomorrow: studying!
