someone posted this in the other thread so I thought I would post it here. It's pretty neat but it's the accumulation of 550+ strava watches from last year's woodbridge course. It's good use for comparison sake. Last year the average on watch was 3.02.
They really are a top tier California team. Wish they were chose the sweeps but I think someone said they stepped out and chose Disneyland for Saturday and racing for Friday. 14:16, 14:27, 14:43, 14:49, 14:57. That's a 14:38 average. 73:12. That will be the team time to beat for the upcoming rated and sweepstakes race.

I heard Rich Gonzalez say that Menlo requested out of the sweepstakes race seeded them in because they were doing sightseeing on Saturday. Rich said he had them as the #8 California team this year across all divisions entering the season and the #1 team in Division 5.

Great times. Would have been good enough for 5th or 6th last year...but I always take comparing different years, days even races/heats with a grain of salt.
Yeah I don’t see anyone in division 5 beating Menlo.
But making NXN will be tough for them because since they are D5, they won’t be able to go head-to-head against the top D1 and D2 teams
Assuming the course doesn't change from Friday to Saturday this year, it's easy enough to compare their times to those of other schools. If their times are better, they should be ranked higher.

“Won’t be able to” or “choose not to”?
I meant, at the state meet, Menlo will be racing in the D5 division, so they won’t be able to go after D1 and D2 teams there, which will make it hard to put themselves in the NXN-qualifying spot in the merge, especially since D5 doesn’t have the competition that D1 and D2 has.

If they're shooting for a higher ranking, they should have gone head to head with the best teams.

agreed honestly. This isn't the same situation as Austin Vandegrift where they were overlooked. They could of been top 10 in the sweepstakes race but threw it away so that they can go do disneyland. They looked really good today and that's great. But it only takes 1 injury to end it for this team.
If they can keep up what they have now to the end of the season, they are 100% the best D5 team california has ever seen.
