Thursday

4 Crosses begging for first tracks.

Close to a foot of new snow today so I warmed up with an hour of shoveling my driveway and then a neighbors. Training has been going incredibly well. From riding with Tim DeBoom to a new personal best on Sanitas to a new personal best (at a lower HR) on a 3 mile climb that I've been running for several years now. My weight is right at 141 pounds and I did a 2:00 MAF ride at HR 135-145 and averaged 220 watts, pretty solid for a hobby jogger. Things are awesome.

Did you race Mead Roubaix?

Sanitas time....?

Inquiring minds want to know.

No Mead race. The 3 hour round trip drive turned me off but I compensated.
Sanitas in 15:03. I'm amazed at Kilian's FKT! I can't imagine even getting close to Rickey's best...

Think you can get down in 11 minutes more? Then you'll have the round trip FKT. If you can get down under 8 minutes you'll have the 'down' FKT. I don't know how on God's green earth you go down that fast unless you run and jump, fall 1.3 miles, get knocked out for a few minutes, wake back up, and roll across the line.

Brett- Does my 5:00 of dry heaving and laying down at the top count or can I stop my watch? Hell no could I have turned immediately around and even walked down. Really, really good descenders are just as bad ass as good climbers IMO.

Nice! As far as I know, only Killian, Scott Elliott and Ricky have gone up Sanitas faster than you, and not by much. Wow, great job!

Lucho said...

45" is a crap load of time on that hill. I was also rested... so I can't see ever going much faster.

Jeff - what do you think the top five are?

You are zip codes ahead of me on this. I don't think I have broken 18?

1. Killian - 14:??
2. Ricky - 14:4?
3. Scott E. - 14:4?
4. Lucho - 15:02
5/6/7/8 Andy Hampsten, Galen Burrell, Nathan Schultz and John Tribbia have all gone in the 15 range but I don't know the seconds offhand (Galen was 15:38 I think when he dusted us on the Tues tempo run).

A handful (probably more than a handful) have gone in the 16 range. 16:23 is my PR. Mackey has done a 16:38, but that was years ago, I am sure he would beat that now, or if he really tried.
