And I think Kagaroo steaks would be in order for dinner that night - granted if the puking is kept to a minimum earlier in the day. Dan the Man will take on a whole new meaning the afternoon of 5/24!

I learned not to start too early in the morning, or the surface will be moist with condensation. Another bad thing is that you have to pay attention, unlike running a marathon on a track....lane 1, lane 2, lane 3, lane 4, repeat......wake up a few hours later.....don't forget to stop for water.....rubbery tracks are much nicer on the knees than asphalt......those football camp kids must think I'm crazy.....I think I'm crazy.....thank god there are no hills.....this really sucks.....am I going to make it?......I hope not......

At the 26.46 mph needed to tie the record, Damage is doing ~38 feet per second. A three second puke would spread down 116 feet of track. Better make it a big rag.

My 101 cadence had me bouncing off the seat. I could figure out if my sore ass was from the bouncing or the pedaling. It was all pretty humbling. A better gear would have helped, but not that much. These days I think 42/16 would be perfect for my typical 16mph pace. I once rode an hour at the Marymoor Velodrome at 21mph in 42/16 gearing. My 101 cadence had me bouncing off the seat.
