It was nice running into you before the race started!<br /><br />Those two races were a great gauge for me of how ready I was and did a good job of showing me I'd do best if I did my own thing. And despite the fact that I rode more than 195 miles of the race without friends I knew prior to the race start, I was never lonely. I either had good company around me or was just content with my own thoughts. I never even turned on my iPod.

Obviously, I've never gotten that far before, so while the crowds at the beginning and the little girls I didn't mention this time at the top of the hill after cp1 weren't a surprise, the people in their yards were a wonderful surprise. And even around midnight when I was coming through a small town, a woman out walking encouraged me, "Not much further now!"Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-58185090211296262912014-06-06T05:48:44.786-05:002014-06-06T05:48:44.786-05:00Leg 1 sounds great.

It's great reading how much everyone was helping you out! Losing you water was awful but got solved so easily. When Emily did Lake Placid Ironman she lost water bottles and picked them up at the side of the road - other peoples. It sounds gross but better than being dehydrated. Okay I just finished this and I am choking up even though I knew what was coming. What a wonderful story. What a wonderful post! What a wonderful you! Loved hearing about all the families in the yards too.ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-56398450849898010202014-06-05T23:36:31.364-05:002014-06-05T23:36:31.364-05:00I just can't seem to write a concise race repo...I just can't seem to write a concise race report!
