I am like up to 112 riding, that ain't much, and 14,271 climbing, that's ok. I am still 10,000 short of that strava merit badge.
That strava is kind of weird when you look at it. I am always looking at elevation profiles. I mean there are guys that satisfy that climb challenge on day 1. So I go look at their climb profiles and see climbs over a hundred foot contour showing up as 1,000 in the profile. I think there might be something twisted in the unit conversions from maps in metric to strava account in feet and pounds. I just looked at the map and profile of a crit in AUS that is calculating 4,000 elevation gain. Now that crit only has like 200 foot contour in it. Granted, I can get to 4000 in 200 foot hill repeats but that ain't what they were doing.
But that ain't Strava doping eh? That is like when I forget to turn off garmin and get in the car.
I don't know. I think I wanted Strava to be more serious than it is.
But hey, I know guys that race things they call the divide trail... then use Strava as the timekeeper for that?
Well I guess it ain't like there is a huge entry fee and a cash prize. But some of those guys go to some serious trouble to get minimal. Am I missing something?1 -

After a trip to vegas to run a 10K/pace a buddy for 15 miles of a marathon, I finally got back on my bike the last 2 days for some commuting rides and went in for a fitting today, as my ironman power/wattage data showed I should have been about 15-20 minutes faster for that same effort at my race a week ago given my weight/size.
The fitting went pretty well, I now have a new position to adjust to on both my road bike and tri bike, and am looking forward to getting used to it over the next few weeks. It seems a bit low, but it allows me to apply power throughout more of the sweet part of my pedal stroke, and puts my body in a bit more aerodynamic of a position. If it works out, I should be able to shave another 10-20 minutes off my ironman 70.3/ironman bike splits and put myself in a much better position for a shot at the podium/world championship slots.

Went on my first team group hammer fest ride in the new fit position and I didn't have trouble with the pace and even ended up pulling pretty hard very late into the ride. The position still feels a bit compact but kept me drafting better.

Freezing cold, and pitiful average speed, but I don't care because I'm over the line with my mileage stretch target for the year. Rather fitting that I did it on "old faithful" as well, rather than on the new Cannondale, which is still back in the shop for a niggle-ectomy.
I plan to eat mightily of pizza to celebrate
