Ring of Fire - Night Loop TimesThe night loop Using data collected from my Ciclo HAC4, I have created the following table:
As you can see, the slowest loop was my first. I had just come off of the Bakeoven Rd. climb and descent and I was not feeling well. My stomach felt bloated. I had taken a Gas-X pill before the descent, but it had not taken effect as of yet. The second loop was 13 minutes faster, but my third loop was the fastest of the night, over 29 minutes faster than my first loop. I slowed down on the fourth loop, but picked up the pace on the fifth loop which was my second fastest. Concerning rest times, only two were under 5 minutes and one as close to 15 minutes long. This long break was due to a major adding of clothes due to the cold night. I added wool socks, tights, and a wind jacket. None the less, Sandy did a great job of keeping me on the course and not in the rest stop.
