And there is why I really find myself enjoying coed teams, in general. The ladies often take a different approach to competition, which makes everything better for everyone. You know the deal: Be competitive, not a jerk.

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment
(it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Sure, here’s a tip. Write interesting things to get traffic; don’t spam peoples’ comment sections. – FC

I can’t wait for Part III. Inspiring, somehow you capture the suffering exactly right — yes it’s horrible, but we come back to it again and again. I’ve been off my bike for about 5 months due to a nasty back injury…I think this is the week to get back on.

Fatty, just a random thought here (as most of my thoughts are). With those 100+ temps and the van maybe a cool down shower for the rider immediately after a leg. Would require the outside shower set up (for hot & cold) and a water tank. OR maybe just a gallon or two of cool water over the head of the rider to help cool the core to help avoid a melt down later.

Pure compliment to both of you (and your whole team). Not only excellent riders but great friendly competitors. I love friendly but tough competition, nothing better for racing.

To The Hammer and Heather: You two are awesome. Just in case you didn’t know that already.

@TroyH-I can’t stop laughing. Are you implying that Heather and I are not women and shouldn’t be allowed in the Coed division? I’m gonna take it as a compliment, but I am a woman and NOT a Cat 1(or 2 or 3 or 4etc) rider. I ride a lot and I ride hard with my husband and have fun doing it. It is pretty damn amazing that Heather and I held our own in the midst of some pretty horrible weather conditions. We are strong, fast riders and women to boot. We did have a blast riding along side Teamcontrol4.com for the majority of the race. Your beautiful wife Brooke was an excellent cheerleader. And we-Team Fatty-look forward to beating you to the line next year. :)Even if we are a “COED Team”

I think that the reason I am so proud of our women riders, aka biking chicks, is that they are not cat 1 or even road racers at all. They took everything mother nature could throw at them… 100+ heat and super strong headwinds and came out smiling. Heather and I had such a fun time doing this race. It will always be on our calendar of events.

I totally agree, Kenny. Lisa and Heather were incredibly tenacious and strong through this whole race. And I forgot to mention in the post how hot Heather’s first race leg was: 104 degrees at one point! – FC

Up to this point, I’ve had no interest in racing. Reading the last two days has made me wish for this kind of event in the Richmond area. Hmmm….maybe I can start one!

Well done to all of you!

I thought you were going to write about the womens’ legs! :-)

I’ll let the photos do the talking in that regard. – FC
