Middleweight Solo 20 Race at Blackhawk Farms Raceway on 06/09/12. Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfdZM0Ek4XY Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WuVxxeqnRE&feature=plcp My Official Results - http://maps.wera.com/racers/racerprofile.asp?x=1098&rid=9131936303272 If you look in the description, I've outlined my times and my place for each lap. Since I'm currently racing in Novice (this year being my first) I am racing the guys with yellow backed numbers. White backed numbers are expert racers and we are scored separately. Although I finished 6th place and I was disappointed, it was my first Solo 20 so in the end I was happy just to finish.
good job on the BFR results. I like the longer races and wish there were less races in a day and that they were all over 20 laps.
Thank you! Since this race was red flagged at half way I still haven't done a full length race. For the next round, I'm doing 6, 8 lap sprint races. in one day. Thats a lot, but I'll just think of it as a track day with a standing start. I just hope they don't switch up the schedule so I don't have to do back to back races again. That wasn't very fun.
I did as many as three 6 or 8 lap races in a row at the Wera Robeling Road event in June. I bought a heart monitor and wanted to use it to track my heart rate. I don't think it gets much over 80 BPM but haven't tested it out on the track yet. Its all the running and yoga I do to keep up with all those 20 year old racers
I ended up doing 5, 8 lap races on 6/10 at BFR. Two of them were back to back races. Between The races, I downed almost a full bottle of water, sat down on the cooler for 3 minutes and got right back on the bike. Lol I'm 20 and I'm doing the same stuff. Up until I crashed and injured myself I was doing: Yoga 2-3 times a week, Racquetball 2-3 days a week, weight training, and cycling 20-26 miles in one hour twice a week. Since I was injured on 5/4/12 at Grattan, I wasn't really able to exercise at all until the next round at BFR. Over a month of sitting on my ass made it rough to ride my hardest. I played hockey in High School and racing doesn't even come close to how physical riding is. People just don't understand. It irritates me how many people knock racing as a sport. Anybody else experience this? Link to back to back races thread: http://www.sttforum.com/showthread.php?t=8658
Which heart monitor is good for tracking? I have never used it. Does it really helps? I could not understand the usability of that.
