Quick post at the end of a long day.
Our team averaged 25.0 and 24.5 mph on the last two legs. It was good enough to claw back 5 minutes on the kids so we are 40 minutesd out of 4th. We gained some more on the coppers and now enjoy a 40+ minute lead over the sixth place team. In sharp contrast to the exciting racing of yesterday we never saw another team today.
My last two pulls of the day (the last was up the final Rocky Mountain pass we'll face:
Pull 18:
32:55
14.0 miles
210 watts
25.5 mph
83 rpm
Pull 19:
17:37
4.5 miles
212 watts
15.2 mph
79 cadence.
We are now just leaving (in the sleeper bus) TS 19 at La Veta, CA. We'll pick it up tomorrow near Kansas at TS 23--we have a big 200+ mile day tomorrow. We were able to shower in a hotel room and eat at a restaurnt tonight which was awesome. Fatigue is setting it but we are still on it!
More tomorrow!
