That was such an epic day, truly a grand showing of the 50+ studs.
I honestly would have never raced as hard without you fellas being there.
-
I saw Thornton's orange swim cap way the F ahead of me; gave me
something to shoot for. Closed the gap with Thornton then Dave popping
out of the water right in front, Jimmy way ahead.
-
Friggin Barry came by on the transition run like a freight train! But I
was able to beat Jason Campbell to transition; it's going to be a good
day!
- Transition sucked as per normal
-
Gunnar way out in front on the bike, where the F are Dave and Thornton;
they beat me out of transition? And there is rockstar stud Todd right
there!
-
*Finally* I see Thornton and Wattie Ink Dave on the bike. Give it
everything to catch up to them. Honestly, I would never have gone that
hard it if wasn't for them. Honestly, never.
- Somehow edged out ahead of Thornton on the bike
-
T2, Where TF is my rack space? F, dumped the bike by Gunnar and ran up
and down looking for my space. Finally got the shoes on!
-
GD, fing Gunnar, gotta run him down. Finally did but there is this
weird sound right behind me. Thump thump thump. F, GD Gary! Shit, I am
going 6:15 pace, WTF?
And
he just glided by. F! F! F!. I tried to stay attached and hung on but
with 1/2 mile to go, Gary just extended. I was so gassed, just looking
for it to end.
You guys are all warriors. Seriously, this really is Nationals/Worlds combined for us old farts. I never push myself like this.
What a great friggin day!

Sheeper Epic Ride - 110 miles, 10,016 feet of climbing
March 31, 2018
Results
Here is a bit of a ride review:
- I was planning on eating 1 bar or gu every 10 miles and having somewhat regular stops
- Chang and I were with Tim and Ken Fine among others. The pace up OLH was nice and slow. I have learned to hold back, finally
- Fuckers took off as I was finishing my pee and I was trying to choke down a gel. I guess it won't be a regular stop ride
- We hauled ass down toward 84, Tim pushing the pace. Broke left toward West Alpine and then right on Haskins Hill.
- I warned Chang that Haskin's descent is kinda gnarly. Didn't matter, he took off like a shot and was with in the lead group with Tim. I had to burn matches to catch up
- Chang led the paceline at a furious pace out toward Pescadero. I was afraid he would blow up later
- We all took turns on Hwy 1; some guys were riding right in the GD road instead of in the bike lane. Stressful!
- At Davenport we stopped and got drink/food. All of the groups had coalesced. I took a pee and was ready to go. Chang hadn't yet...and the group was across the street chomping at the bit. F! Chang, hurry the F up!
They took off with out us! F! F! F!
- We lost probably just 5 minutes but it seemed like forever. Burned way too many matches trying to catch back up, that's for sure
- However, we did reel in most of the group climbing Bonny Dune though not the ride leaders.
- Descended down to Felton where, once again, Chang had great descending prowess. We refueled at another store. I was later getting there and trying to stuff more calories in. But Ian and Ken wanted to go NOW!
- Headed up Zayante. Derrill, I gotta say I have mad respect for Ian. That guy is like Conrad, just pushing the pace. Thing is, he can hold it. I was so conflicted; bury myself to keep up or just hang back a bit? Decided on the latter.
Friggin Ken is nearly as tough as Ian. And we're at 70 miles doing this fing 16 mile climb. I zigg-zagged between Ian and Ken and Chang seemed to have dropped off. Finally I fell back, just not mentally tough enough to keep up with Ian and Ken.
Mercifully hit 35 and slugged down 2 Accel Gels. Chang huffed up a few minutes later. The gels were awesome; I felt great. Took off, trying to make a statement on old man Ian. Smiled as we went by your neighborhood and Sanborn park; half thinking we'd see you there!
Unfortunately, at Cave Rock, there was some traffic and I had to stop. Fing Ian and Ken caught back up! F!
- We refilled water at the Fire Station and then humped it along Skyline.
- Put in a final surge after Fogarty Vineyard but faded. Ken and Chang came charging along!
- Moved ahead on the section past Old La Honda and the climb to the top but ran out of gas. Fing Ian and then Ken passed me. F!!!
- We all rode down 84 together. Ian and Ken went separate ways and Chang and I limped in back to Burgess.
Some notes:
- Gus are good.
- Chamois butter is good. First time I've used it in a ride. Feel much better "down there" than the 10xOLH and 10xKings
- Chang, you are fucking strong through and through. I thought you would burn out but you kept coming back. So totally impressive
- Gotta hand it to Ian and Ken. Those dudes are hardened
- D-Train, wish you had joined us!
Keep it in the Big Ring! @@

Thanks to you two I had a good race today! I was thinking about you guys for motivation!
Of course I was late, driving 80mph to get there and arrived at 6:45...
I
saw Dave Cornwall, Ken Fine, Barry, Gunnar and Jimmy. I thought, oh
well, there goes the podium - no way would I get Barry and Dave and this
would be Ken's year. Let alone there might be another unknown.
Swim
was pretty casual; I was next to Pete Kain just chatting; thank God he
is in the next age group! Amazing what a nice guy he is. Anyhow, he took
off like a friggin bullet. I tried to go with him but my HR spiked and
had to back off. There was so much carnage in the water, though, slower
waves doing breast stroke, you had to swim around. I went 2 mins slower
than what I had been doing in the pool.
After
the swim, about 1 mile in to the bike, some dude comes by, swerving in
and out of the traffic cones. Frickin it's Ken Fine! He was blowing by
me, totally impressive. I thought, yep, this is the year he beats me and
so much for top 3. But for some reason he didn't keep extending on me. I
came up on him and his bike was making this weird noise and his chain
looked funny. Turns out his front derailleur was broken or something; he
couldn't get in to the big ring. So I kept going and he fell back.
About 3/4 of the way though, suddenly that mofo passed me again! I got
refocused and was able to drop him but I was petrified that he'd catch
me on the run. The good news is that no one passed me on the bike.
On
the run I went by Gunnar around mile 1.5. But he hung on like a tick; I
couldn't believe it. We were going 6:30 pace. Finally I extended on
him.
At
the turnaround, frickin Ken Fine was "right there" behind me. I swear I
would never have run that hard w/o him behind me. Dave was right behind
as well.
I pressed the pace and ran as hard as I could. I finally looked back but...couldn't see Ken or Dave!
Finished
the race and then, boom, there Ken was just 23 seconds behind. Damn,
when that dude figures out how to race he is going to be untouchable.
Though as you guys pointed out, it's because of transition :-)
Huge
props, though, for Jon Erskine. Back in
2014, when we were in the same age group, he nearly ran me down but I
got him by 6 seconds. This year he had the 3rd fastest overall bike
split (42:35) and 4th fastest run (29:25!). He got sweet revenge and
beat me by 25 seconds. Thank goodness he is in the younger age group
(48). But totally impressive.
I am so seriously ruined right now. Took a 3 hour nap. Both calves are shredded.
You guys are the best for the encouragement. Really missed you out there today.

So Chang
suggested that we do the Oakland Tri a few weeks back, a race I've never
done. I haven't been really focused on training and had no races
planned. But, WTF, why not? It would be a good excuse to see Thornton as
well.
That
said, I have sort of blown off swimming for the past few weeks. Last
week, swam once - when fit I can hit 1:20 pace pretty regularly.
However, I am not swim fit. Did 10x200's on Wed and could barely hit
1:30's. Uh oh. So I knew I had to swim 2x more before the race. Planned
on it for Thursday...had a job interview and blew it off. Ok, what about
Saturday? Went to race registration and walked 2 miles, sat in traffic,
and came home exhausted. Blew off the swim.
BIG MISTAKE.
Yesterday
at race reg, the course was so intimidating, I debated if I should just
blow it off completely. In particular, the run up 5 (?) flights of
stairs plus other logistics (where to park?!) made it seem overwhelming.
The good news was the water looked relatively clean.
Woke
up at 4:45, hoping to leave by 5:30. Well that didn't happen. Was just
in slow motion. Worse still, I couldn't get out the typical morning
grumper! F! F! F! Left at 6, driving 85mph like a maniac in the dawn.
Got
to transition at 6:35 and hustled out to walk to the swim start, and
ran in to Thornton who seemed calm and happy. Also ran in to Chris
Danesi - 49 yr old who aged up this year and won CIT AG a while back (he
would go on to win the AG again today, as well as 4th overall - 2:08,
amazing)
The
water was reasonably warm though there was no sun - just fog; it was
hard to see esp with dark goggles. Dave Leroy was behind me though not
for long, he took off like a shot taking massive pulls (unfortunately,
he would flat on the bike). I tried to just keep the HR level. However
it was amazing how swimmers out there seemed to have no sense of
direction. People swimming up under my side and, worse still, coming at
seeming 90 degrees right in to me. Bizarre. Though I thought it was a
pretty good swim, it was, relatively speaking, crappy. 27:26; I usually
do 21:50-24:30. F!
Got
out like a wounded seal on the dock and ran through. Ah, there's Chang!
We exchanged niceties and then I accelerated. Well that lasted about 15
seconds. Chang got some kind of fuego and charged by me. When we hit
the GD stairwell he just took off. I was pretty tired by then and used
both railings. Coming down the other side was friggin treacherous.
On
to the bike, I had my watch set in "triathlon mode" but the GD thing
wasn't showing bike stats like cadence, speed, etc. So i fucked with it
and ended up turning it off then resetting it to bike mode. Good lord,
what a dork - that probably cost 30+ seconds. Oh well. Chang was now
several hundred yards ahead along with this other 40 year old who had
passed me. I calmed down and tried to be patient. Slowly reeled in Chang
and the other guy by the 1/2 way point. "Phew, that's done" I thought.
Then we hit the overpass and I geared down. At the next turn I was
surprised to see "the other guy" and Chang go right by me! F! Maybe I
was tuned out, dumb ass. Put the hammer down and finally caught back up
to Chang but never caught the other guy. As an aside the pavement was
actually pretty good and it's a pretty fast course. I turned in a 1:02
with Chang about 1.5 minutes behind.
On
to the run. The weather was pretty much perfect; overcast and cool. It
was awesome seeing Jim Silk volunteering and giving me shit - "did you
miss the bike turn off again?!" (and Lindy as well who I didn't notice
until the run back). My legs felt surprisingly good and I hit mile 1 at
around 6:30 pace - couldn't believe it! That said, friggin Gerhard
Brummer blew by me - he ran 6:16 pace, amazing (though I got him and
Leroy Thomas overall by about 30 sec). Anyhow kept the hr around 170 and
seemed to keep it below 6:40 pace. Unfortunately at mile 3 I went the
wrong way. Noticed there was no one ahead of me. WTF? Shit! Another 30
seconds or so lost. Kept the pace up and felt good until mile 5 when
the fatigue was setting in. Then, doing the GD stairwell again, I was
pretty beat. I had thought it was going to be a 41 min 10k but it ended
up 42:16.
As
I was crossing the line, I noticed Brandon (Chang's son). I kept trying
to make eye contact with him but he kept looking away, out toward the
finish line. Well, guess what, he was looking for his Dad! Fing Chang
nearly ran me down and came across the finish line soon after, turning
in a spectacular 42:03!
In
the end Chang and I both placed 4th in our AGs. Both of us agreed that
we couldn't have gone any harder though I had some serious rookie
mistakes, esp not swimming enough prior.
But
the stud of the day is frickin Thornton! Not only did he smoke me in
the swim - 3 mins faster with a 24:50 but he also had huge ride @ 1hr 57
seconds! AWESOME. Thornton snagged 3rd place, kicking my ass off the
podium. Well done!
The
other stud of the day is Brandon So! He was 4th overall in the Sprint
and first in his age group. At 15 years old, he is going to be a force
to be reckoned with!
In the end, I'd recommend this race. Despite the logistics, really fast course and fun to be with training buds.
