Last Minute ReRoute on the TR³ October 27, 2010

Earlier this week when I posted the overall results of the 2010 TR³ Mountain Bike Duathlon, I mentioned that I had to scramble to do a last minute reroute on the mountain biking leg. Here is the scoop.
For months, I had meticulously planned the 3 different legs of the TR³. When a race director has limited trails and space for an event like this, planning is of the utmost importance. How fast is a fast racer going to cover this leg? How fast is the slowest racer going to? When 2 different legs have to use part of the same trail, this becomes a potential debaucle.
After getting it all worked out. I had race maps printed, including an enlargement that was mounted on foam core so racer could see it easily at check-in. There was also a map with profile available online.
Then the rains came. And then some more rain, and then on the Friday, the day before the race, even more rain.
There is one particular section of the planned course called the Legacy Trail that the bike leg was going to use twice in the 11 mile leg. This particular trail turns to black sticky death-mud when it is extremely saturated. Not only that, but the City of Prescott had signs posted at both ends of it asking “riders” (more on this later) to stay off the trail during wet conditions.
So on Friday night just before dark, I was out at the event site, and made the decision to change the bike route in order to: A – Keep racers from having to push their gunked-up bikes through death mud, and B – Maintain a good relationship with the City and other trail users.
The deal with the “riders” comment from before is that the City had originally posted signs asking equestrians to stay off the trail during wet conditions. Well, apparently this didn’t fly with the local equestrian groups, and they raised hell with the City to get them to include mountain bikes……thus the signs were changed to say “riders.”
Ok, back to the re-route dilemma.
After spending hours using my fabulous mapping software Topofusion, I was able to come up with a 2-lap bike course that was within 3 hundredths of a mile of the same distance as the abandoned 1-lap leg, and to my amazement, it was within 3 total vertical climbing feet as well.
This only left getting out there early in the morning and getting it re-marked correctly (thanks Michael!), explaining it to my awesome volunteer crew from PMBA, and then telling all the racers at the pre-race meeting that the course they had been studying online and pre-riding the weeks before was now something else entirely!
The racers took it stride, and overall it did not cause any problems.
Crisis: AVERTED!

Today was the first TR³ Mountain Bike Duathlon in Prescott, AZ. We had to scramble to change the biking leg at the last-minute because of rains that turned the Legacy single track to black death mud.
More on that when I have the energy to write more, it has been a LONG day!
These are just the overall results, the legs splits will follow within a couple of days.

GORD Course is in Good Shape February 10, 2010

Several of us went out and rode the course for the upcoming Go! Off Road Duathlon or GORD this last weekend.
The first running leg is 1.5 miles. The first third of that leg is on wide track trail that is part of the Brownlow Trail system in Pioneer Park. The other two-thirds is on single track trail that winds through the pinon, juniper and scrub oak trees.
The second leg of the race is he mountain 8.1 mile mountain biking leg. It too incorporates wide track and single track, but it is no walk in the park, it has about 900′ of climbing and some challenging twisty single track on the north end of the park.
The final leg of the GORD is another trail running leg of 2.2 miles. It starts out on single track, and ends with almost a mile of the wide track trail to allow racers to not have to concentrate so much on foot placement, but just let the dogs run.
There has been a lot of rain and snow here in the last month, so we didn’t know what kind of shape the trails would be in. To our pleasant surprise, the single track is in as good a shape as I have ever seen it. Some sections of the wide track are going to need some dragging, there are some places where the water washed a bunch of sand down over it, and a few fairly deep ruts.
With the race still five weeks away, I will be riding it many more times.

It took me a couple of nights to sift through the time sheets and get it all put to spreadsheet, but I am happy to announce that the Official Results, including splits are now posted on the GORD site.
You may remember that I wrote last week that I thought a 40 minute split would be hard to do on this course? Well, I was being a piker!! There were 4 racers under 40 minutes, and the two top men did it in 34 and some change…..seeing as how my best is just under 45, now I am going to have to go back out there and try it again!
There were some seriously strong athletes out there on Saturday, and it was really neat to see people of ALL levels having a great time and interacting at a fun event.

Day Hike on the GORD course March 5, 2009

This afternoon Tracie and I took our youngest granddaughter, Brynn on a hike.
Yes, it was only a mile and a half, but for her little 5 year old legs it was a good long way. True to form, she was her same happy-go-lucky self the whole way. She carried a ziplock of goldfish crackers, and tried to identify all the tracks on the trail; horses, bikes and shoes.
The three (actually four, counting our dog Gypsy) of us had a nice walk. We walked the first running leg of the Go! Off Road Duathlon, which is a nice mix of smooth wide track and a twisty single track.
I think those of you that are going to race in the GORD next week will really like the variety of trails on the course.
Windy Evening on the MTB March 4, 2009

Tim, Kent and I went on a pre-ride of the GORD mtb leg again tonight, and the wind was howling.
If the you are riding into a 25mph headwind and your computer shows 20mph, are you riding as hard as if you were really going 45mph?? It sure feels like it!
We hammered hard tonight, and got it done it right at 45 minutes. I really don’t think that many people will do it faster than that on race day. That doesn’t mean that I think that I am fast or anything, but I know the course and was riding hard. I just can’t imagine anyone doing it in under 40 minutes, so come on you guys…….make me eat my words!
The entries for the event are surprising me a little bit, still zero entries in either male or female 16-18 age group. Another surprise is that one of the divisions with a lot of entries is female 40-49 age group. And in one last statistic that makes me scratch my head is that less than 10% of our entries are local to the Prescott Area……hmmmm.
I was glad that Tim came along tonight, as he and his wife have decided to enter in the Relay division in the GORD.
Mountain Biking Leg on the GORD February 25, 2009

Kent and I went to Pioneer Park this evening to ride the 8.1 mile mountain biking leg for the GORD.
We rode pretty hard, but we didn’t really pound it, and ended up doing it in 47:32. I think that if I rode it hard, I could probably do it in 45:00 flat, but that would be tops for me I am pretty sure. I am thinking that the fastest time on the bike during the event will be in the area of 4o minutes. I really don’t see how it could be done much faster than that.
So for all of you out there that are signed up to compete in the GORD, you can count on spending at least 40 minutes on the mountain biking leg.
Riding in DG after the rain January 24, 2009

I’ll tell you, I am awfully glad that we have some areas with Decomposed Granite trails around Prescott, because the other trails turn to mud and muck when it rains.
Today Kent and I went out to Granite Basin Lake to ride some of the DG trails because we have had two nights of rain recently, and almost anywhere else would be too muddy to ride….well, not to muddy to ride, but so muddy that we would muck up our bikes and more importanly, we would have torn up the trails.
We only spent about an hour actually riding today, but it sure was nice. There was no one else on the trails, the DG surface was tacky, and the temperature was cool…..that spells perfect conditions.
Kent has decided to race in the Duathlon that I am organizing and putting on during the Ides of March. He is always such a good help as a volunteer, but I am very glad that he is racing instead this time.
You really don’t need to BEWARE the Ides of March, just sign up for the Go! Off Road Duathlon and spend them with us!

Well with less than 60 days until the event, it seems as though things are getting fast and furious now.
We would like to welcome a new sponsor the the Go! Off Road Duathlon, it is the High Gear Bike Shop in Prescott, Arizona. Steve and Cindy at High Gear are donating some items for our prize drawing at the conclusion of the race.
If you are looking for a new mountain bike, they deal in Cannondale, Trek, Haro, and Scott USA in the mountain bike category, as well as BMX bikes and road bikes.
Steve has been in business in Prescott a long time too, I used to buy skateboard wheels from him in the ’70s.
Duathlon entry forms are available at High Gear Bikes at the corner of Sheldon and Mt. Vernon in Prescott. Of course they are also available at “other bike shops” which at this point will remain nameless. I would love to name them, but they haven’t agreed to give us prizes yet!

Usually not such a good idea…..
But this morning I went out to ride all three legs of the Go! Off Road Duathlon that will be held on Brownlow Trails in Pioneer Park. I rode very carefully because I was alone…no hucks or jumps today.
The first 1.5 mile running leg starts out on smooth fire road type trail then after about .6 it turns off onto a windy but fairly smooth single track that weaves and wanders its way back toward the TA.
After racer transition to the 8.1 mile mountain bike leg, they will spend just about 30 seconds on the fire roads, then turn onto single track for about a half mile, where they meet fire road width trail again. The wide track is about 2 miles long before another section of narrow single track cuts across a hillside and back to the wide track where a pretty good climb begins. Once riders reach the top, there is a fast descent with some surprizingly sharp turns, then another and steeper climb. At the top of this climb, racers will go through a tunnel then follow the wide track around a roller coaster loop for another mile or so. Near the bottom of a descent, there is a very sharp turn onto a mile of twisted and narrow single track that climbs and descends up and over 2 ridges before it takes riders through another tunnel. With less than a mile to go, riders will traverse a hillside on a single track then join the wide track and head toward the TA.
After transitioning back to the last 2.2 mile running leg, racers will follow single track up a ridge then join the wide track trail for a while then back onto a fairly straight and fast single track. When they hit the wide track again, they have less then a mile to go to the finish line!
Next time I ride it, I will take some photos to edit into this post.

This afternoon Nate, Tim and I went out to Pioneer Park to ride the GORD course but backwards. It is now all dried out and in really good shape. If I go out there (and hopefully get more of you out there) a few more times before the event, the bike course should be in tip top shape.
In the post before this one, I uploaded the course map for anyone that wanted or cared to see. I know it is archaic looking with highlighter and handwriting, so I will work on something that looks a little more professional.
The race is 2 months from today, and entries are trickling in. Remember, it will cost you an extra $5 if you wait much longer!
Tim said he and his wife might run it as a relay team….cool!

I spent Saturday morning deciding on then vetting the course for the GORD (Go! Off Road Duathlon) that we will be putting on in March.
I still don’t have any official word out there (like registration details), but that should come next week. If all goes as I would like, it looks like the first trail run will be just over 1.5 miles, then a mountain bike ride of 8.4 miles, followed up by another trail run of 2.2 miles.
It will take a little time to get it all worked out, but meanwhile we are in search of a title sponsor and other prize sponsors.
The GORD is slated to be held on March 14th, 2009 in Prescott.
