this javieth makes a really compelling argument. I think you should try this "viagra" stuff. maybe it would help you expel the dvt by forcing all the blood (and the clot) to your junk. just an idea.

Very interesting blog!!! i liked it, most of all for the new ideas that this blog talk. I must to say it catched my attention since the first time that i read it. I usually like everything that can give me what i am looking for. So i advice you buy viagra, the result is amazing!!!

Rob I wish I could explain it. The course is just fast with LOTS of pedaling. I think I took in more fuel at Mohican and used the road to make up time. NO roads at this one. All single track. It was great, but power sucking by the end.

Funny to contrast your finish there with the Mohican. You came by Rich and I in the last 20 miles like we were standing still. I think you put like 20 minutes into us in the last 20 miles!

keep up the good work.

feather boa! I'm coming for sure! Rick - can't convince you to do it this year on s.s.? Misery loves company.

cheers

Great re-cap! I almost blew coffee out my nose when I read about the trucker bomb! At one point on my lap 4 I was alarmed because I thought the stump on the side of the trail was a large deer! Great event for sure.

See! Didn't I tell you Michigan trails will bite yer ass!

Glad you finished. I raced it the first year it was held and only did two laps. At least I have a nice pint glass to remind me of NOT finishing.

Shred, No way! I will eat more, drink more, and train even less if I have to! That mid pack title is mine.

50th out of 175 that puts you nearly at the front of the mid pack. Way to go. Keep it up and soon you'll have to drop your mid pack title.

big ring: be prepared to climb, climb, climb. there are seemingly endless numbers of 30-45 minute dirt road climbs in the 101, plus long stretches of flat cranking areas which have got to make it tough to select the right gearing. gear for the climbs and die a thousand hampster wheel deaths on the fast sections or gear for the flats and rupture a spleen while climbing! this is exactly why I've decided to do the 101 on a single NEXT year. that being said, there are some guys that have it figured (and quads the size of tree trunks I might add)

Feather boa? Are you turning over to the dark side...

2009-06-22T22:48:57.493-04:00

Feather boa? Are you turning over to the dark side of Metro-tastic flair? Do it, hell wear two! Great report and a great job @ the race. Sometimes while I’m slumming in bonk land I envision a bag of high caffeine gel in my Camelbak attached in IV form to my belly and think that with such a contraption I may never bonk again. Then I realize that if such were possible I would have it filled with morphine and beer and well that just wouldn’t be very conducive to me finishing a race would it?

Peace,
Metro

T.O.B.R.- LOTS and LOTS of fire road climbs followed by rocky down hills. As far as the single speed thing, you might want to talk to someone like Tomi- tomi-mcmillar.blogspot.com he's local, rides a S.S. and might be able to help you with gearing, etc.,

Hope to see you there. I'll be the one wearing a feather boa. Maybe.

I'm registered for the 101 and am having some of the same feelings that you had going into this race. I'm doing it on the ss and am dreading it. My goal . . . . cross the line before the race is packed up and everyone has gone home.

Got any info on it being a local boy?

cheers

Pete- OMG!You just brought back nightmares of my CM race from last year. FULL BODY CRAMP. MY God the heat!

Danielle, great job to you too. The knee looked like it hurt BAD. There were indeed sections I swore I just came through.

Thanks.

2009-06-22T12:33:29.298-04:00

Good job!

That course makes you a little crazy after you do a few laps doesn't it? At one point I thought that I kept doing the same section over and over again because it all looked the same.

Good luck this coming weekend!

2009-06-22T12:24:21.864-04:00

Good stuff. Way to tough it out. Back to back sub 10s is great!Trucker bomb was a lol'er.

Brad got 15th? Jeesuz! Must be all the Metal. ;o)

I will be 'riding' the Cranky again this weekend. Looks to be 94 w/real feel of 103. Sound familiar? Why?
