Wait, wait, wait! That was the wrong BF auto-reply. |

Such obvious cheating is just dumb and I love/loathe the fact that there are communities of devoted cheater hunters.

Are you old enough to Remember Rosie Ruiz? Suspected of cheating in both the NYC and Boston marathons (she was originally declared the winner of the latter) in the same year. IIRC, she was believed to have taken the subway to the finish of the former.

First constructive suggestion!

Feels like today is going to be some armpit weather. This reminds me that @Dan333SP should be looking to be up here building company bridges with the locals.

Oh, and on the M&M front, I have discovered Dark Chocolate Peanut - dangerous. I'd take them over the nut paste M&Ms any day of the week.

Update after a more cognizant exam of my bike.
Frame is okay. Fork is cracked in many, many ways. My shifters don't look pretty and my saddle looks worse than my body. Front Zipp 303 has a ton of paint on it from my fork, but I think it is somehow OK. Assuming I can source a replacement fork, it could have been worse. I'm missing skin on basically every part of the front of my body and had to get 7 stitches on my right elbow, but my helmet and face escaped scratch free. |

Big time. I just wish I didn't forget gloves. I always race with gloves, except you know, last night.

I'm familiar with the story, but it wasn't something that was within my bubble of awareness at the time (assuming that I was alive and aware at the time).
Real winner. |
I got an appointment with the cardiologist late this afternoon. No matter how it goes, my days of ultra hard efforts, for no good reason, are over. I'm already scouting shorter, more relaxing rides. I did one, to the business of an associate, in the next village over, and it was quite pleasant. I celebrate 67 years two weeks from today. Good a time as any to scale back some. If I haven't reached cat 3 by now, I'm unlikely to get there.

In other news, after a rough start and a bit of tweaking, the latest addition, the 88 Centurion Ironman has become the bike i reach for first, because it's new. Still a tight race between it and the Trek 930 for sheer comfort.
