I heard all the cool kids use Zwift, so probably not. But I don't use Zwift. I will confess to using Strava on the iPhone though.

Interviewed at the 3M headquarters complex today. Many large buildings amidst a sea of full parking lots.

The other registered woman at this stage: her Strava is more locked down. But I can get to individual ride data through her teammate's Strava.


I've got 20-25 watts on her, FTP-wise. And her watts/kg for an hour: only 2.55. In a race she did at 101% intensity.


Just sayin'


I'm in the mix with these two for sure.

I say no when the sport allows you to smoke while doing it.

Sounds like a potentially sticky situation.

So on Sunday's ride I was complaining about the frustration we have had finding a reliable but inexpensive car for Hannah. One of the other cyclists mentioned he has a 2002 Maxima that he is trying to get rid of. I had my mechanic check it out, and he said it's in decent shape.

Now mrs datlas will have to talk turkey to the guy. She is one tough negotiator, I think it's a cultural thing.

I get the joke but seriously, 3M is integrated into your life more than you can imagine.

Good luck! And congrats on this past weekend.

I own quite a bit of 3M stock so if you get a job there, I will in effect be your boss which means that I don't want to see any posts on BF till after hours.

I registered for the State TT yesterday.


When you do that, you can see who else is registered.


So far, two other women besides me. Registrations close Wed at midnight.


I don't know either of the other two women, but of course I look them up on USAC. One of them beat me by two minutes last Nov at Santiago Cyn, the race I just did this past Sat. Yikes.


Of course I Strava stalk her and she lets anyone follow her. Now I can see her data. Timing error last Nov! She really only beat me by one minute. Cool, cause I since shaved one minute off my time on that TT.


Next up, I look at her bike and data. No power meter. Does not ride with HR. And she has one bike, does crits and road races, so we know its a road bike with clip-on aerobars. Equipment advantage: Heathpack.


Looking up her race results, she has most success in climbing races. Ha, the State TT is totally flat. I look at her data for last Nov's Santiago Cyn TT and compare it to mine from Sat. She beat me by one minute up the climbing part. I beat her by one min on the flat/descending part. Physiology: its a draw.


She's done a lot of races, she's experienced. Mostly crits and road races, so she's probably a better bike handler than me. Not that many TTs that I can find. No 40K TTs. The State TT is 40K. Experience: she has more overall, I have more TT experience.


So at first glance I thought: "No way am I beating someone who had two minutes on me in an 11 mi TT last Nov." Now I am not so sure...

Thanks!


I am easily psyched out.


I think everyone is faster than me.
