how do yiou know if you are in good enough shape to race?
I have been working to get in shape to race. Im not sure I would be ready.
I was planning on beginner class so that means my races are 40 minutes.
I can run for 80 minutes (9.5 minute miles - and I am rarely out of breath when done..could keep gong but my knees start hurting.).
I can ride a bike for 90 minutes at 17MPH. I can easily ride for 3+ hours without stopping keeping my cadence around 70, but I slow down to 14mph after 2 hours or so...(i should also note I do this with panniers..so add 10 lbs to my bike)
Still, not sure if I should keep training myself up or if I could actually be competitive on a fitness level.
Any ideas?
