I also think flexibility (or the lack thereof) is an issue.Vertical Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331183720066540623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611884.post-1118148405658747552005-06-07T07:46:00.000-05:002005-06-07T07:46:00.000-05:00I wanted to add - let us know when you figure out ...I wanted to add - let us know when you figure out the back/aero issues!

I seem to find that in just about every race, at some point, I get mightily pissed off. These days I just expect it - and try to use that energy to get myself going a little faster. Sometimes it works, sometimes not! Anyway, great report, solid middle-of-the-pack finish, and on to the next one!!!Nancy Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402516081283603553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611884.post-1118106714875383602005-06-06T20:11:00.000-05:002005-06-06T20:11:00.000-05:00"So I drank very sparingly on a hot day.
