There is no way you are slower than 40 minutes. Most were in the low 30's and many near 27 or 28 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Bike is a total guess, and I have no idea how the corners will affect me. I did a little over 19 mph in central oregon a couple of weeks ago with several turnarounds and a similar elevation gain/loss as burley. So I am thinking 3 hours will be good.<BR/><BR/>I have yet to do a long bike and then run workout during training. So my time is a very rough estimate. I can run 12 minute miles without too much trouble and for a long time so that I what I am going with. That puts me around 2:30 to 2:35 for my run.<BR/><BR/>6:15 would be a good race for me. I have told you numerous times that I really don't care if you beat me on this. And if I beat you, so be it. This event is beyond my normal prickish "heat check" deal. That only last for about the first 30 minutes of a ride anyway. This is just about survival and trying to make my goal. I strongly suspect that this will be my only 70.3 distance that I ever do. The running is too burdensome on my body at this distance. Trying to train without injury has been very difficult. And I didn't want to totally embarrass myself like last year. Anyway, the Olympic distance is more realistic for the foreseeable future. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully it will be a fun race. If I do happen to beat ya I won't throw it in your face or anything. I fact if I do I will pay up, I will buy the steaks the next time I am over at your place.Mr. Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131351643307288629noreply@blogger.com
