Hot and humid. A lot of green around ... But that is not an excuse for all the mistakes and slow time anyway. Lets count: overran #1, lost about 20sec at #2, big time search around #4, 30sec near #5, overran #6 (just wrong reentrant). In general, very slow, could not push uphills. | ||

Green course from last local meet. Nice design by Sandy. Unfortunately, my race wasn't good enough. Some problems on the way to #2 and bad corner cut through the "green" on the way to #4.

| Speaking of two-wheeled transportation, thanks to the WorldWatch Institute, we now know the truth: the bicycle is the world's most energy-efficient (in calories) form of transportation. Comparing energy used per passenger-mile (calories), they found that a bicycle needed only 35 calories, whereas a car expended a whopping 1,860. Bus and trains fell about midway between, and walking still took 3 times as many calories as riding a bike the same distance. They also looked at a measurement called: "Persons per hour that one meter-width-equivalent right-of-way can carry". In this case the train scored tops with 4,000 persons, but "autos in mixed traffic" still managed the worst rating with only 170 people. Bikes did pretty well, relative to cars, achieving 1,500 persons per hour. The stats also inferred that cycling contributes to a nation's health; they found that only 1% of urban travel in the US was by bicycle, a country with 30.6% of adults considered obese. This contrasted with the Netherlands where 28% of urban travel was via a bike, and only 10% were obese. Damn you, video games! | ||
