Lots of circuits near Sebring today so presumably he is refreshing his memory of the course.  Doesn't seem to have displayed any significant signs of tiredness over the past month. 

Have you spotted his weak point?  Neither have I :)

He did a short day of about 178 miles when it rained ;)

That could be true. However, a new relationship is untested and Alicia might wake up one morning and say to herself "What am I doing here?"

Thanks to Wow's comment I now have the Talking Heads song Once In A Lifetime in my head.

Actuarily, "How did I get here?"

Those who called a rest day were spot on.  Although 200km is still a tidy ride.

I suspect today won't be a rest day  :D

It will be interesting to see how he tackles the ride. The others there are doing the race as a 'one-off' with recovery time afterwards. Kurt doesn't have that luxury.

Is it just me or does Tarzan have something of a Mike Mills thing going on?  Perhaps cycling is his new thing now R.E.M. have broken up?

The event that does not allow for drafting is a qualifying event for the Race Across America, in which ultra cyclists travel from one coast to the next.


And there was me thinking RAAM was just a straight west-east affair.  I didn't realise they had to visit Prudhoe Bay as well!

I was expecting Kurt to be doing lots of loops today around Sebring racetrack and wondered what he was doing as the tracker shows him heading north.

I found this Strava entry

http://www.strava.com/activities/9490905/overview

So its a few laps to start with on the raceway
Head north and then back approx. 140 km
Loops of roads to the west of Sebring raceway (16.6 km loop)
Once dark on to the racetrack itself (5.8 km loop)

Yesterday he was about 80 mile short of what he had been averaging. I'm expecting a big day today and the Strava link shows he achieved 274 miles back in the 12hr TT at Sebring in 2012.

I'm thinking he will have a similar day today and make up for yesterday, but hope he really feels it tomorrow  ;D
