If I'm reading the results page correctly, Kurt has clocked up 124.9 miles (3 laps*) in 5hrs 41mins. Crikey. Looking at the time gaps, it seems he's riding on his own rather than in a group.

Hoppo went through the end of the 3rd lap four minutes quicker.

*the first lap being the 100 mile loop.

Hoppo's riding the 24.

Same course though, innit?

Ho yus. Hoppo then has a week of half-term to grow his hair back normal colour and down the sides before school restarts.

The tracker is showing 149 miles for Kurt at 2000 GMT, whereas the RaceSmith results page is showing 172 miles since 1130 GMT which fits in with Kurt's 20+ mph average.

So why the low reading from the tracker? Can't believe he stopped part way to reset!

The tracker can't record those small loops they are doing its just tracking point to point.

Thanks Jack, that makes sense.

Bike Sebring results & splits are on here: http://www.racesmith.com/results.html

citoyen · « **Reply #1159 on:** 14 February, 2015, 10:08:37 pm »

He's in the lead now - 218 miles in 10hrs 11mins.

Will be very interesting to see his HR data to get an idea of how much of an effort this is requiring.

Hoppo, meanwhile, seems slightly off the pace in the 24. Long, long way to go in that one yet though...

Ian H · « **Reply #1160 on:** 14 February, 2015, 10:16:29 pm »

Hoppo might be coping with effects of jet-lag, which (with luck) means he'll catch up later on.

Can't work out if this is a negative message from Hoppo

Think it's just him showing off that he had a Corvette as a hire car. 2:16pm would be before the start I think

I'm trying to decipher these results.

http://www.racesmith.com/results/2015results/BikeSebring12HoursSplits021415.html

The riders have been placed in some order I don't understand - number of laps? Tarzan's is the 5th name on the list but the number of miles attributed to him is 241.5 in 15 laps. How can a rider who has completed 16 laps have fewer miles?

simonp · « **Reply #1164 on:** 15 February, 2015, 12:09:56 am »

Typo? Looks ok now.

Psychler · « **Reply #1165 on:** 15 February, 2015, 02:42:40 am »

According to F/B he's done 263 miles

hillbilly · « **Reply #1166 on:** 15 February, 2015, 07:07:58 am »

Average speed over 20mph. Heart rate 20% or so above his usual. So he was going for it.

Will be interesting to see whether these race day efforts are compatible with the year long TT. Ordinarily I'd suggest no, the body needs to rest after stressing it to this extent, but both Kurt and Steve appear to be wired differently to most of us.

mattc · « **Reply #1167 on:** 15 February, 2015, 07:22:50 am »

They're certainly not compatible with _optimal_ pacing for the 1Year total. You can't just change physics and physiology for a day.

But I think the races/audaxes are more about a mental boost for these two. As they're entering different events, we'll never know who made the best decisions! (especially without any blood monitoring, or oxygen consumption, etc ... )

Wowbagger · « **Reply #1168 on:** 15 February, 2015, 08:05:12 am »

Now his name is listed twice, in first and seventh places. I think that results service leaves a good deal to be desired.

hillbilly · « **Reply #1169 on:** 15 February, 2015, 08:08:06 am »

I won't be surprised if someone claims Kurt has cloned himself to diddle Steve of his place in history.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #1170 on:** 15 February, 2015, 08:12:06 am »

That would explain how he racks up so many miles and has the time to appear in so many videos.

When you check the Strava weekstats Kurt is now 3,9km ahead of Steve with only the sunday to go. Expecting Kurt to take it 'easy' today the week total could still be in favour of Steve.

Tarzan's estimated mileage today according to tracker.......

He wasn't entered in the recumbent category - that's probably his first full on day on his TT bike.

My heart rate rises if anyone overtakes me on the way to work - even if I'm trying to go at strolling pace in work togs intending to not get sweaty - I can't imagine being in a race and thinking "back off my heartrate might exceed 100 bpm!"

Awesome mileage.

Go Tarzan.
