Continuing the thirty second spots, here is another. I was going to do a 'ranking the RCVs' as text, but decided last night to do the visceral. One of these days I am going to rewrite the synopsis of each DVD but for now this is your basic 12 through 1 rating.
Please understand that this was a difficult task, with many factors considered, weighed and addressed. There was also a dramatic shift in the methodology of capture once we earned permission to shoot from the pack on a moto vice off the front in a car. The end results reflect the 'overall' end user experience, and although each RCV has its moments of unique brilliance; The climb to Hawi, Whiteface, The Beast, Verona, Hayden Lake, etc., this list is a way to narrow it down to what we would all like to see as the RCV standard. In other words, the perfect course shot on a perfect day amid 2,800 athletes for 112 miles. No bugs, mud or dirt on the lens, no rain, and no gettin' pulled over by the cops.
Lastly, going through this exercise, rating the RCVs, was like picking your favorite children. Sometimes the quirkiest are the most dear. Character plays a part, as does any number of biased and subjective opinions. Simply having three of 'international' origin (OZ, UK, St. Croix) should get them bonus points, but didn't. Just because they cost us a ton of cabbage, required several sleepless nights and a bucket full of sweat, that shouldn't impact the experience of the gal from Peoria who simply wants to watch some relevant video while building base over the winter. Should it?
So here are the year ending grades for my Kids. I love them all dearly, wouldn't trade Arizona for Alp d'Huez or OZ for Kansas.
And btw, the CompuTrainer Christmas sale is now on till the 25th. All My Children (as unique individuals) are available for HALF PRICE ($49.95). Enjoy them while you can. They grow up in a hurry.

Kanye would say.. WHAT?!, NY is the best RCV of the year!; give me that award (snatch) its going to NY!
The NYC horoscope:
The Virgo is normally a small person, certainly no giant, but he's muscular, and he has far more strength than his fragile appearance suggests. These people can stand more intense work over a longer period of time than the tougher, more brawny signs-if they can avoid a nervous breakdown in the process. Although they're externally capable and cool, inner anxieties gnaw away at them, upsetting their digestion and their emotional balance. Tackling more work than they can safely manage, and then straining themselves to the breaking point to fulfill the obligations is behind many a Virgo's ragged nerves. They were meant to be calm and soothing when their intricate and delicate mechanisms are running smoothly and the wheels aren't clogged with brain fatigue.
Gee thanks for the insight. I'll be at spin class tomorrow unless I'm feeling sick.
You gotta love the part about the wheels clogged with brain fatigue. But that is Son number two: NYC Tri. Never a dull moment!
