Hi guys,
It was great to see the other Polar team members on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing Heather's pics. I don't know about everyone else, but I find the bike route to be pretty challenging and this year the road had plenty of frost heaves and bumps. It was a beautiful day for a race. This was my 12th Muskoka Long Course race.
Muskoka 2008 was mostly uneventful, except on Saturday afternoon while doing a bike clean up, a derailler cable snapped. Who has a spare one in their bag? Not me. No panic. On Sunday morning I expected to find either Racer Sportif or Enduro Sport with a cable at their booth and was shocked when nobody had any!!! Fortunately, I found a good Samaratin who cut a cable off a demo bike and put it on mine, about 30 minutes before the race start.
My race had no surprises. The swim time was slow as it has not been a focus area for me this year. The bike split was good/solid and my run was the strongest part of my day. Overall it was a "good" result. I gauge my fitness level on Muskoka and then get to work !! Looks like I need to get over to the pool some time soon .
Hey James, how do you do T1 in 37 seconds?
