Flames 2 - Sharks 0

Forgot to mention this the other night :-)

BTW Biked in from home to work (36 km) in 65 minutes (Avg 32.8 km/h). Not bad considering the last personal best I can remember was 70 minutes or so. There is some room to improve though. Lance Armstrong maintains 40.8 km/h (over the entire Tour De France!!!) which means he could do the same sprint in 53 minutes on a bad day.

I figure if I had the bike he has, I'd easily be under 50 minutes. It's all about the bike. Why are there no sarcasm tags in html? ;-)

It is all about the bike! At least it better be when you're spending 15,000$ on Lance's bike! man...that's
the cost of three of my dream bikes...and change!

So somebody pointed out to me that bike racing is completely different than triathlon. So I checked out Peter Reid's page (http://www.peterreid.com), did some quick math, and found out that he's only clocking 38.1 km an hour (over 180 km). Of course by that time he has swam 2.5 miles, and has a 26.3 mile run ahead of him, but who cares? I still think it's all about the bike.....:)
