It's the "tradezone" of the collegiate Track & Field season. Sometime's I'd run steeple or (gasp) the 800 or something silly just for strength. We had about the same speed (1:52- 1:55), but those folks who run 1:47's and whatnot made me feel like I was carrying a refrigerator the last stretch and somehow coming off the last turn always felt like it was about 160meters instead of 100. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, good post from someone surely with a little more cycling experience.TerribleTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767042151759862341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886776306339316165.post-41900919913294062232008-02-28T17:10:00.000-05:002008-02-28T17:10:00.000-05:00I think you are right.

But I was amazed at how many times these guys Pulled the field. I do not remember Escobar doing it as much as Custer and Esmonde. I just remember Esmonde at leonardtown last year just made the race so god dang hard by applying pressure on the front, I had a great time. <BR/><BR/><BR/>On a complete side note: Bob Roll pointed out on a tour day france broadcast was peoples perception that Super Mario can not climb and they can out climb him. Bob Roll quickly pointed out that Super Mario could beat most local club superstars climbing but not the super climbers like pantani.Kyle Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033000765514013376noreply@blogger.com
