I had a good ride at HHH. My timing chip time was 5:14. I posted more on my blog.
 
By yesterday afternoon, Cadence Sports had already posted results. You can find them here. Here's mine.
 

 

I finished my first 100 mile century on my trike! Way, way slower than the time above due to extensive cramping during the last 40 miles but at least finished. Had not done more than 55 miles at a session in the last 3 months so was happy to finish

I'm going to have to put an asterisk by my HHH time due to a dust-up with this guy in a Lincoln SUV who was running interference for the cat 1 riders. They passed me and he pulled up to me and told me I couldn't draft off of them. I shot him the bird and continued on. We went up a slight incline and I dropped off, but then came a downhill and I came back on them with a vengeance. I was going to pass them on the shoulder, but this guy put on his turn signal and started pulling over to block me!!!! So I went to his left....the guy puts on his left signal and moves me over into oncoming traffic!!!!! I had a few choice words with the driver and as I'm passing the group in the oncoming traffic lane a motorcycle guy comes up and tells me I can't interact with them. I yelled to him that I was PASSING THEM, and asked if there were a law against passing cat 1 riders. He told me if I interacted with them I would be arrested. This all happened right when I was supposed to turn right on Cottonwood, I think. Anyway, I looked at my route and compared it to the route I was supposed to take and then measured the two on Google Earth and I was short 1.02 miles. I got on the right route as soon as I could. What's a guy to do when he's up against a four ton vehicle, the cat 1 organization and their protectors, and the force of the law??? But, this is a PR for me.
 

I just read Bud's blog entry on the HHH. Wow, Bud, you really took everything in! My recollections of the ride were.....a few cool spots early...got a few good drafts.....stopped once at 53 miles to fill bottles....rode with a recumbent guy from Lafayette, LA who was a RAAM qualifier....cat 1 idiots.....finish.  I did think my time was a little low as well, Bud. But I was flying blind, as I was relying on my phone's mapmyride app to tell me my distance, average speed, and time. I guess somewhere in the 80's or 90's my music started messing up--playing ten seconds of one song then switching to the next, then switching back to the previous one. And then it just froze up. I couldn't even unlock the stupid thing. I thought I'd be under five hours, but not 19 minutes under. That was a big surprise. It was a 25 minute improvement for me--due to a large part to my new Encore. Like I already said, my time needs to have anywhere from three to five minutes added on to it due to the cat 1 guys making me miss that turn near the end.

PR for me too!   4:49 (moving) and 15 minutes stopped over 100 miles, with an average speed 20.8 according to my Garmin.
 
I caught some good drafts, but spent some time riding alone too.  I started with the recumbents, and drafted off some tandems for the first 10 miles or so.  Then they slowed down so I passed and went on my own.   I caught up with Dan Hansen in his velomobile around mile 25 or so and we passed each other and chatted a few times.   Then when the first group of DFs caught me (around mile 31), I hung on with them for about 9 miles, going 25-30 mph.   That was great fun!  But then I started getting cramp twinges in my right calf and had to back off.   So I took a drink of Pickle Juice (great stuff!), pedaled a little slower for the next 10 minutes, and then started drafting off the next group that caught up to me, which was not quite as fast but easier to ride with.   I broke off with them for a pee break, and after that just rode with smaller groups when I could.   
 
I had a little bit of an experience with the racers, nothing like Reever's.  Near the finish, a car passed me and mentioned that racers were coming.   "So?" I thought.   I was stopping anyway at a rest stop.    I left the rest stop right as they passed and I did notice a lot of cars around them.   Too many, I thought - why aren't they passing?  Then the turn came where they went left (or straight) and the 100 milers went right, and that was the end of that.  
 
 
 

Agreed ..  I'd like to know what you'd be "arrested" for .. that should be priceless .  Any chance you got the plate #?

Hey, thank you all for your response to my HHH ride report. I was out of pocket for a week up in Ohio and had no tv or computer...just doing sheet rocking and painting for my daughter. I've decided I will write Chip Flier a note once I have calmed  down for a bit. He works so hard to put on that whole thing, and does such an excellent job! I will let him bask in the glow of a successful  event before I poop on it.

Yep, as I pointed out before, the long list of recumbent riders who've complained about it includes John Schlitter and Kent Polk. The only thing that came out of any complaints was starting the recumbents and everyone else later. They aren't going to let anyone closer to the racers, no matter what anyone in this forum may tell them.
