Day -2 MS 150

At the end of our 100 mile day. I had a massage, lots to eat and figured it would be best to hold off on the celebratory beer. I figured I would be drunk with 1 beer and may not ride on day 2. I went to bed  around 10:30 with several layers of clothing as I knew how cold it was going to be. I did sleep better, but felt the 100 miles from the day before. The second  day was a lot windier, but we geared up and headed out. The moment I sat on my bike I knew I would only be doing the minimum amount of miles today which I think was 35. However, the girls convinced me again that I could do all 60 miles today. I really struggled today. There were moments when I wanted to cry and moments where I really thought my lungs were going to give up on me. The girls tucked me in a little pocket & protected me from the wind and pulled me for miles. Julie, Sarah, and Stefanie - You never once thought about leaving me. I would not have completed my goal if it wasn't for the three of you. You ladies never cease to amaze me!  Thank you!  2 days - 162 miles- 6 months ago if someone would have told me I would go from riding 15 miles to 160, I would have told them they had lost their marbles.

Well, here is to losing marbles; because not only is it possible, I did it!
