When in doubt, head to Hains Point. First test ride on the race setup- Zipp 808's and new Sidi's. Covered either a little more than 5 1/2 laps, averaging right around 24 mph, or 6 1/2 laps averaging 27mph. Like an idiot, I forgot to mount a magnet on my rear 808, so I had to do the math and I lost count. Assuming it was 24mph, I was actually hoping to get another mph or so, but there was a fairly stiff wind on the back straight, so I'll be happy with it. If it was 27mph, I'm ecstatic.
My foot held up fine with the new shoes, and I love the sound of those wheels. All in all, a pretty good ride.

808 are really great tools! Do you have Vittoria Pitstops (hate to talk about flats, but backups are always good ideas...)
ReplyDeleteI love my Zipps. Yes, they set us back, but I don't think any of us regret it. I was duking it out with someone on the bike at Rev3 and finally pulled away from him on a flat section (not that there were many) and never saw him again until the run. When he passed me in the run we talked a little bit and joked about the bike. I told him he might be able to beat me, but he was not going to beat my Zipps. Ironically we duked it out on the run as well - first I was ahead, them him, then me and finally him until the end. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteI think you are ready for IMCDA. Your bike is really strong and I have positive vibes about your run.
Nice blog and meet my blog
