BBQ Stakes #56 - rabbit 3 hunter 2...

had a pleasant ride home last night...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 12.1/81% (apparent temp 10.5)
start time: 5:31pm
total distance: 17.64
total time: 46:12 (including 1:00 stopped time)
avg speed: 22.9kph
total calories: 316
avg HR: 118

put my new mudguards (Crud Roadracer Mk3) on my bike which is just as well as it rained overnight...

very wet underfoot and foggy for our dog walk...a bit of a headwind for the ride in...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 8.6/100% (apparent temp same)
start time: 8:14am
total distance: 16.61
total time: 40:38 (including 0:30 stopped time)
avg speed: 24.5kph
total calories: 355
avg HR: 130

decided to catch the earlier bus this week (I have a choice of 11:54, 12:04 & 12:14) but of course it didn't show so I caught the one that gets me there on time...

I didn't think the rabbit was running today as she hadn't signed in...I did note that her handicap had eased from 3:45 to 3:30 while mine had gone out as expected by 15secs to 21:00, a headstart of 17:30 if she was running...

the temperature was cool but it was quite breezy on the course and I didn't seem to get a tailwind at any stage...about halfway around I wondered if the rabbit had in fact started...

sure enough, I spot her (bunny ears and all) as I'm approaching the finish - I had to ride a bump from Alan who had inexplicably moved sharply to his right as I was overtaking before the line...

I crossed the line 29th while the rabbit was 21st in another PB for the standard course & overall - 47:12...the difference in our gross times was exactly 30secs...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 15.5/52% (apparent temp same)
start time: 12:31pm
total distance: 6.04
total time: 30:12
avg pace: 5:00
total calories: 421
avg HR: 154
TE: 3.6
recovery HR: 162/9
BPK: 770

splits: 5:03, 5:23, 5:08, 5:25, 4:25, 4:41, 0:08

I'll have to work harder to catch her!
