Thanks Steve! As I was watching Bio’s little blue dot around 2 miles, I thought, “Hey! Let’s dedicate the daily to Bio!” And I quickly came in here to do it… but you came in here quicklier… more quickly… whatever… you beat me to it. This will be fun!
Only 45 miles to go!
I was watching his dot as I was sitting down for breakfast. Debbie: “What are you doing?”
Me: “I’m watching a friend run a 50 mile race.”
Debbie: “Why?”
Debbie just doesn’t get it… poor Debbie…
If anybody else is watching… does it look like he is off course just before mile 5?

"Quicklier" I love it! Let's add that one the to RA dictionary....
Bio - don't get stuck in a roundabout...
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Holly, lol
go Bioguy!!
24 EZ minutes on the rooftop jogging path. It sounds swanky but is sorta grungy. Not complaining! It’s great to be outside instead of in some stuffy fitness room.
5.23 miles for me this morning.
Now I am "at" work, but I have downloaded the Race Joy app so I can watch the blue dot named Joe on my phone.
12 down...
Let me do the math here........
carry the seven......
....wait..... let's start over.........
divided by eleventeen.....then carry the two....
Help me out here will ya?
The first 12+ miles of the JFK are on the Appalachian Trail but then most the rest of the course is smooth and flat. (If my memory is correct from when I went there to watch years ago.) So Joe should be able to make up time and still finish in 12 hours. Used to be that you had to beat 12 hours to get a belt buckle but my knowledge is pretty old.
Never mind....

Bio is doing great.
Right on pace for the daunting 13-hour cutoff,
especially without early start that I needed
as mine always took a little over 14 hours.
note: 13 hours = 7:30pm EST
One of my vivid memories from those days (1963) was JFK's 50-mile march challenge to the military that was then were picked up by the fitness populace of the day but it seemed to impossible that might as well have been asking us regular people to go to the moon too.
. . . you came in here quicklier… more quickly… whatever… you beat me to it. This will be funs
Steve - nice going. I think you are now the only one of us who's been quicklier than MikeE in anything.
ps - thanks for the screen shot too.

Steve - it even gets' more interesting at mile 40, 45, 46. . . 49 trying to divide the remaining time by the number of miles left to figure out what pace is needed for each of the remaining miles to finish under 13 hours.
Thanks again.
MikeE - too bad for all of us that "because it's there" has been used. Maybe, "because I'm an idiot" but she/they already know that.

You are correct. It is a 13 hour cutoff. Told you it was many years ago I was there.
Go, bioguy, go!
Be safe. Be kind.
You've got this bioguy! Run Forest run! Cocktails at 7:00ish?
GO BIOGUY!!!
Rode 17 miles on the indoor setup this morning. It was mostly flat route but with two big climbs. Overall I rode at 101 watts and 125 average HR, but on the first climb I averaged 160 watts and my HR spiked at 150, which is pretty much my max. The climb was also a Strava segment and I placed 7/14 in the 75+ AG, which is an accomplishment for me since I'm a poor climber (built for endurance, not strength).
I just figured out that I actually like this virtual riding more than riding outdoors. To do a virtual ride takes me just a few minutes of prep -- mostly getting into cycling clothes -- then I go down to the basement, plug in the trainer, and select an interesting-looking ride of the desired length and difficulty from the 1500+ worldwide routes that are available on the Fulgaz app.
IRL, it takes me longer to get ready, including lowering my bike from the hoist in the garage, airing up the tires, then often putting the rack on the car and loading everything up. Then I have to drive somewhere out of the immediate local area to get to a less busy place where I can ride some boring route that I've done about 500 times before while dealing with heat, wind, and threats of rain.
