But how could you ride that fast without:


- PowerMeters
- Wind tunnels
- Aero cleats
- Electronic shifting
- Disc Brakes
- Personal custom mixed electrolytes
- GP4000 and latex tubes
- Zwift
- Erg. mode on the trainers


You forgot the most obvious difference of all!! We were riding road bikes without aero bars!!!

Thank you for taking the time to look at this Elvis. The results were much higher then I recall. Is it possible that was when the race was 2K/40K/15K? I was born 7/22/57 so depending on when the race took place that would be results from either 1982 or 1983. If that was indeed the 1.5K/40K/10K then I had a better time in 2009..Wow..

Thanks again..

Well this race was on 7/22/84 (your birthday). Pre-computers, I would guess they just mistyped your age.
They specifically list the distances as 1.5k/40k/10k.
I remember it was hot that day. I cramped up badly on the bike and had to walk part of the run. I also put a heavy bag of bike tools behind the seat and even had a heavy bike chain (you know in case the bike broke down and I needed to lock the bike up on the course some where). What an idiot. But I was 20 at the time.
