THIS MAKES YOU SPECIAL
TOMORROW'S RACE STARTS ON A WIDE RACE TRACK. We'll go straight up hill for about a mile then the course funnels down to a u-turn onto a single track...
... to get there will be a sprint royale.
But, we can't let up because we still face 28ish more miles with 4000ish feet of elevation gain.
Just that sprint start alone would have most people bent over puking.
Looking at the course profile we will deal with 15-20 similar, punchy climbs.
The single track is treacherous enough to take a good chunk of us down.
About the same amount will experience some sort of mechanical issue. Flat tires, broken chains, etc.
A similar percentage will battle cramps and sour stomachs.
In other words, about 25% of tomorrow's competitors will have to deal with some sort of real physical challenge.
Add in the fact that everybody wants to win, and nobody is going to make passing easy and you've got...
... the reason most people don't race.
We do because
- We're in it for the long haul.
- We've already fought to finish many races.
- We are battle hardened able to take any challenge and press on.
That is what makes us special.
Different from most people.
Resilient.
Without a doubt learning to be resilient has helped me push through all kinds of life's challenges.
