In my Waconia race report below, the results for the bike leg seem to be a good deal off. I’m fairly certain that the course yesterday was only 16.5 miles (which is very close to what my odometer read) and a bike split of 45:56 equates to a 21.6 MPH average instead of a 23.3 MPH average?! I’m not sure what equation the folks were using to calculate those number, but something is way off.

So, sorry to disappoint all of you who thought I was capable of that bike split yesterday. I was beginning to wonder who was slipping me the EPO when I wasn’t looking. As much as I’d like to think that I could ride that fast, reality and math tell me otherwise. I’m going to write to the race director and see what’s up.
