Well as far as I am concerned I am done training for the 508!!! I did 5 hours on Friday and close to 4 hours today..today was a very strong head wind up the Teton pass. I about cried to celebrate when I got to the top knowing that it was down hill home..Guess what? The wind changed directions and it was a head wind home to!
Colleen road 4 hours with me on Friday and 2 on Sat. yeah...this was so great!
Sunday I will ride 2 hard hours up and down Targhee which is a good climb and then that is it. ( I did this ride and it took my 5 min. less than usual, a good sign:))
I am going to leave on Monday and head towards Calif. It is time for me to wrap my head around the 508 miles. I know I am going to be in pain, suffer, cry and it is going to be the hardest work I have ever done...Part of my is looking forward to the hard and to push myself to a new place...I am scared although I know fear is my friend. I feel I have done ALL I can do to train for this race. At the starting line I will have NO saddle soars, 2 amazing bikes thanks to Leigh and another friend..I am so thankful for these bikes you will never know!
To the run crew and to the bike crew and to all of you who have helped make this journey for me what it is today...I could have NEVER come to where I am today without any of you.
To my amazing family: I am thankful for all of you and thankful you continue to allow me to grow and be who I am. Thank you for your endless love and for coming along with me for the ride!
There are never going to be enough words to thank you. When I cross the finish line of the 508 you will all be with me and we can all share tears of hope and tears of joy knowing that we have been something part of history making as well as something extraordinary.
I ask you to all pray for me, for the crew,and for all those who toe the line at the 508, for the crews and families and then to all of you. Pray that God will lead me, guide me, test me and allow me an extraordinary race full of everything and then some...
Thank you.
God Bless and love you all Lisa
