2011 Addison Oaks XC

Well this is my second year doing this race as Expert. I improved over last year by 11 minutes.

Last year’s Addison Oaks time (Expert men 30-39):
Lap 1: 31:34 Lap 2: 33:43 Lap 3: 35:33 Lap 4: 37:31 Total: 2:18:20

THIS YEAR’S Addison Oak time (Expert men 30-39):
Lap 1: 29:32 Lap 2: 31:43 Lap 3: 32:13 Lap 4: 33:57 Total: 2:07:24

The race had a total distance of 28 miles. I notice that the first 2 laps were aprox. 2 minutes faster and my next two laps this year were 3+ minutes faster. My goal for next year is to not only be faster but to have more consistent times. I did a single lap and some 2 two track the day before which was 8.6 miles as a "warm-up".

Last night Pauly and I rode a portion of the Grampian Challenge course I got in 32 miles. The course is not even close to being as physically challenging as our normal routes.

YTD Distance: 3002.05 miles.

Keeping up, but still behind

I have been riding every week but not consistent in posting the miles where on my blog. But I did keep the spreadsheet (Google Docs) up to date. I have so far this year put in 2913.45 miles (mostly dirt miles).
