Is Ithaca this weekend already?

Have I mentioned that the 12 hours of Ithaca is to be my first ever solo endurance race event?  Yeah.  It sure is.  And its this weekend.

*yikes*

Actually, I’m really looking forward to it.  The course is mostly flat and twisty and very short.  As in ~5 miles of short.  I’ve decided that I’m going to do as much as possible on the SS, but I’m bringing the Titus along for ‘in case of’ .. This also puts me in the solo-women’s category, rather than the SS category.  I’ll be ‘competing’ with Shari and Claudia. 

I’ve been pulling together some ‘lap goals’ in my head and just looked up some results from last year for reference.  Our team did 25 laps, meaning I did 6 (Jessica did the extra lap).  Shari did 18 laps last year.  Oof.  Ok.  So, I think my bear minimum goal will be 12 laps.  That’s twice as many as last year, and averaging one lap per hour.  I’m going a bit easy on myself (goal-wise) since this is my first solo endurance race.  It may be flat and short, but its still riding a bike all day.

So there.  Its written in digital and will soon be published for the world to see.  I do have some super-secret goals that will not be published on the interweb and may or may not be talked about after the race 😉
