fresh off the computer, the 'best' route for Saturday's rogaine:

click through for the big'un. only thing i disagree with is this route's 41-45-71 in the north-center. that route throws away a lot of elevation only to take it right back - 41-71-45 is smarter and only marginally longer. to be expected, i didn't to squat to compensate for elevation gain.

turns out there are a lot of borderline calls - substantially different routes that are damn near the same length. Certainly nearer in length than I trust the accuracy of my sketched routes. this one adds up to 51.0km, but i wasn't anal about drawing in my guesses for routes. there were at least four more routes that had major differences, but were still within 2k.


and here's joe and jeff versus the computer
.
i'll figure out how long the ben-routed course through their choice of CPs is tomorrow.

tail end of the rogaine shenanigans:

'best' = 51.0k
joe/jeff chosen order with 'best' routes: 55.1k
joe/jeff actual: 56k
ben chosen order with 'best' routes: 55.6k
ben actual: way more.

well, my chosen route didn't suck as hard as i thought it did. which is nice.

per usual, too fast. well, more too heart-beaty than too fast. goal was 5mi@ 8:30, and hoping that AHR was closer to 75% (142bpm).

can't find the damn garmin charging cradle. mutter mutter.
