I'll Be Climbin' Like the Goaties

Hubby and I went to packet pick up this afternoon. I had him time me going up and down this hill and another small one, it's the longest on the course with Falcor and Clifford. It took me 5:47 to go up and down the hill on Clifford and 5:17 seconds on Falcor. Falcor won, so he's in his first race tomorrow. I was kind of surprised at such a time difference, I guess I make up the time going downhill. That's me and Falcor climbin', you can't really tell because I look like an ant. Should I be trying to stay down in the aero bars as much as possible and down shift? Even up hills? I can stay down and climb if I put Falcor in the little ring.

The bike course was marked with pink, spray painted arrows. Check out this crime scene! They did body marking for Poor Mrs. Deer(deer remind me a lot of the goats). I kept having to pass her going up and down the hill. It is so hot and humid, flies were swarming her. I would have buried her but didn't have a shovel.
