what :: GoldSprints. Or: Pedaling a stationary bike connected to a computer-monitored system for a measured amount of distance, at your own greatest speed for up to 30 seconds, in a race against another bike-mounted opponent, with intent to out-rank other contestants.
Sounds easy enough, right? Yeaaaaah......
when :: JOHNNY SPRINTS RACE 3 - Wednesday, 14 January 2010
Did 2 races again, and dropped my time on my start time, and again on my 2nd race :) This was my second time to GoldSprints.
Note :: I'm gunna start titling posts by the Race #, but since I missed the 1st meet, my own actual # of races will be 1 less.
This event was themed for "Costumes", too - I was really the only person in full costume, though there were maybe 3 other people with light accents to their attire to stand out. I wore my "Flash" Girl outfit, and won 1st prize for it ;) I got to pick the next theme ("Hawaiian"!!!! :D ), plus I got a biker hat with "Johnny Sprints" embroidered on the short brim (custom made for this race series! :D kinda cool).
And, again, It was crazy fun :D lol
Picts to come, if I can find any...
Molly
1st race = 26.53 seconds
2nd race = 24.09 seconds - ranked 58th overall for the evening
Abe
1st race = 18.44 seconds
2nd race = 17.76 seconds - ranked 14th overall for the evening
Overall Ranking & Results for Best Times of Each Racer
