Time in the saddle

I thought I had better update. I have been putting a lot of time in school research, and finally got the go ahead to start collecting data for my thesis. I will start that today, pretty excited about it.
Training has become something I still love to do, but if I have to miss a day, which happened last week, I am ok with it.
I rode with Susie saturday on the vista tril riding single speed. The Troll was so happy to get back on the trial. My abs were mad at me the next day though.
Sunday I rode with Saraha, Susie, and Kevin doing all but one of the mountains that will be in the Challenge. I was already tired from the previous week, and the previous day. I was not really looking forward to the Death March, But was really happy with what I had accomplished when it was over. I kept strong mentally, even when I was struggling. The best part was Flying down Blowout after a whole lot of climbing. I did not tell anyone until after the ride was over that I really had no desire to do that ride, and they all laughed when I told them. Thanks everyone for riding with me-even though it may not have looked like it at one (or two) points, I did have a Fabulous time. (But I was so happy to see the truck)
