[4boysmom]

<p>Ride like the wind!  Hoping you're getting the cooler temps today.</p>

<p>For those not famliar with LP bike course, the three segments are as follows:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 - FAST... part that leaves town with a few shorter hills on the ups but two noticable downs, one that is 5K worth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 - AVG... this is the middle part of the loop and has many long flatter stretches and some rollers. This can be very fast if the wind is in the right direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 - SLOW... this is the long ascent back into town.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two loops of the above. Typically you have a fast split through 1, maintain it through 2, and then give back lots in 3 due to the slowness of the climbing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There aren't really rollers on this course because most hills totally bog you down, robbed of momentum. So in general, it can be a slow course. But Mike has the goods to make it fair. You need to be able to hold a fairly high cadence in a very low gear to stay in control and on "top of the pedals" on the ups, especially the last one back up into town. Do that and he'll do well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The marathon is a tough course. Even standalone, if it were, it is challenging and on the slow side due to all the long hills.</p>

<p>Thor--thanks for the course details.  </p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>Go Mike!</p>

 

[xflbk43]

I was about to ask you these very questions on FB. That's what I was thinking the course was like. He's got the ability to put up a fast time, even on this slow course.

 

[Boyerdavea]

<p>Wow, looking at the first pro on the run through 5.6 miles is averaging 13:59.  Either he is having major problems or the run course is very tough off the bike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>ok...Glad they fixed the run splits.  I knew something had to be wrong with a 13:59 pace.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great job Mike! </p>

Update from Adco. On the run...he looks rough but waved. Second bike split was 2:52...19.4 mph. Last bike split isn't showing yet.

<p>Alright Mike - move those feet!  Fast and furious!</p>

 

[Thor]

<p>Looks like Mike is riding with smarts. Keep it easy so that you can run, man.</p>
