Wednesday, May 18, 2011 - Race Reports

Tomorrow will prove to be an even more brutal day. First the start is at 9:45, 1.5 hours earlier than today, and the finish is scheduled for the same time. Add in a long morning transfer and you have an alarm set for 5:45.
In other news, my GNAC conference meet record in the 400 hurdles was broken on Saturday. 6 years on top, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with that. Still have the conference 800 meter record though. Yes, I check the records weekly for updates.
Here's another graph from Race Shape.com. What you're looking at is the time gaps between different riders/groups along the course.
Some people may call this a bit nerdy, but stats are a big part of every other sport (ever listened to a half time report?). While a small fraction obsesses over them, most people at least understand. My hope is one day a graph like this will reach that level.

I saw you on Sierra, you looked as though you are in the best form of your life. You are an outstanding athlete. Thanks for representing Norcal.
