Archaea is right that my brother is very, very good, both on the bike and while running. Much better than I am. If he would apply himself a little more, he could find himself competing with some big names in the tri world.
As for me, I am an average rider whose fitness level depends largely on how often I can get my fat arse out of bad early in the morning. I don't have the time or inclincation to race at this point in my life. With 3 small kids, family time trumps spending a weekend on the road traveling to road races and crits.
I enjoy weekend rides and can hang okay with the 3's, 4's and 5's on flats and rollers. A couple of guys I ride with are 2's and they are in a whole different league on so many levels. A pure climber I am not.
RCV is older than Archaea and creekster??? I did not know that. Not that they are old or anything, but for some reason I thought he was quite a bit younger, possibly early 40's.
