Means I'll have to look for the Cresta shirt and Red Cannondale at the start or the finish, unless I'm planning on doing a sub 3hr. At the same time though I think your claim of aiming for 3h30 is likely to be a cop out. No offense meant but you sound stronger than that, make a more realistic aim for yourself, go for 3h10 or something. My 3h30 would also be a cop-out if I had carried on training hard, and realistically I'd like to try for an average of 30 kph which would only be possible if I find a strong group to help me. Until I have enough races under my belt I am resigned to working on my own most of the time. (This will be my second race, 94.7 the third, so I'm expecting to be in the seeded categories by early next year and I'm trying to aim for the Argus as my first serious attempt as it should be the first race where I will start with a large number of equivalent riders). I'd be keen if we get some rain and mist up the first 20km's while we don't need to worry about traction. After that with a lot of downhills I'll be perfectly happy to sweat a bit in exchange for not going down and losing parts of one of my favourit organs (the skin, for those who didn't know, is the largest organ on/in the human body)
