Look on the bright side. You could be riding in the Masters 45-49 and finished 8th instead of 5th.
Yeah, i definitely don't want to get old, check out the times for those old dudes, YIKES!
In my age group i would have gotten 3rd, but that doesn't matter, i was more interested in bettering my PR.
Yeah, what Eric said. What's the story on the earplugs?
It already looks like Ward and the others are giving you enough grief...
Not to Pile On....BUT...
Isn't the whole "Priceless" thing MasterCard, not Visa?
Just the opposite, i have this problem when i ride, i hear Phil and Paul commentating in my head. The earplugs block out the wind so i can hear them more clearly
"... and this is Alexander just flying, he's turning an ENORMOUS gear..."
No, seriously they block out wind noise (only made worse by my fancy dancy helmet) and allow you to concentrate solely on your breathing.
They really do help when you're charging into a headwind because you don't hear it, you just know your cadence, heartrate and speed and they hide the fact that you're being blow backwards, which you can probably surmise from your speed, but that's beside the point.
Mostly it's a mental thing. Try it sometime, i think you'll like it.
You are correct sir, it is Master Card, and that is either the sign of an ineffective advertising campaign or my lack of an attention span.
I'll pull an Orwell and change the title.
What about Amy? How'd she do in her Tri?
I will post some Amy scoop this evening, needless to say, keeping the good news there for last (or later)
:D
