Warmth, growth and porn
I'm out here in a balmy SF for the day. Gotta get my work on out here at the Mother Ship. My run this AM was pleasant given the gorgeous weather. Back home: More pow pow. And yes, my big toes are STILL numb. What the _ _ _ _?!?! They are a bit better each day but this is scary. I can not imagine what those Everest climber freaks experience.
I fire up the PC this AM and check out the KC results. NICE JOB MATTY! It's awesome to see how many CO folks are at Nats. Indeed the geography makes it a bit easier for CO folks to get to KC, but I want to run some data to see the demographics after Sunday. It is insane to see this type of growth in the sport. 1900 competitors last year, 2000+ this year.
Speaking of demographics and data, I've been using Google Analytics to provide me with some visibility into who reads my shitty blog. As a data guy, it's sick what you get for free. Some major enterprises I've worked with do not even have this level of data to get a lens into wher
e and how interested people are coming to them from.
Radio Freddy, you will be happy to see that you are the No. 1 reference link into M & C. Rad. It's interesting to see how long people stay (about 2 minutes) which is not quite as long as the average length of time a porno is viewed before it is stopped (about 4.5 minutes) so maybe I need some further bike porn or something to keep people hooked. HA!
Not so shocking is the geographic info. CO is the region where people are from viewing M & C. Probably just due to word of mouth. I need me some advertising or something in those other regions! What up, Wyoming, Arkansas and Mississippi?? What? No cross there? C'mon!

keller,
just got back from kc real late last night. unfortunately had to come back for work so I'm not racing Satruday. But the course was incredible, long and muddy as all get out, you would have loved it, by far the best course I've ridden to date, which isn't that many, but from what I could tell based on the CX Pron I watch it was very Euro.
Colorado represented with a podium finisher in every category. Matty O rode a great race, he kept me movin'. I had my best finish of the season with 3rd, more to come on the blog.
A lot of the DNS's in the results were actually DNF's, there were 117 starters in the 30-39, so that threw the demographics off a bit.
Bo-lee-var! Whatup? Thanks for the low-down. I'm not gonna get all East Coast Versus Bay Area Versus Pac NW Versus Colorado...but CO is rocking it out there! It's amazing to see.
