Horribly Hilly Hundreds Pics

In looking through the event photos, it's apparent there were very few women who finished the 200K ride (or who started for that matter--they indicated 18% of registrants were women, and I'm guessing most of them rode the 100K) and also that I was faster than a lot of guys. Not that I'm competitive or anything ;)

This picture is coming up to Cty J on Garfoot Road, which is part of the Ironman Wisconsin course, only we are going backwards. While on Garfoot, I saw a number of athletes obviously training for IMWI or perhaps some other IM, since it's a popular spot to ride and a tough course. This climb was not very difficult at all, as it was pretty short, and I did try and stay seated on all the climbs that day so I wouldn't burn up my legs too quickly. You can see my HTFU bracelet on my right wrist!

Here I am coming up to the park to finish. Sucks this one has PROOF on it, but oh well, you can see that at this point I am not really smiling anymore--I'm all focus, get it done and get off the bike!



I'm about to start in on my 7-hour training day, so I better get going! Enjoy your Friday!
