It’s official, I’m racing tomorrow. Psycadelic too. You should see the ankle timing chip.

Great nights sleep last night. Lots of good dreams about the race tomorrow.
It rained over night which should help to keep the dust low. Perfect racing weather is predicted for tomorrow.
Ok, I’m off to the medical check-in and riders briefing.

Finally headed to Leadville this morning for the race on Saturday. What an amazing journey this has been so far. I guess you can consider that this journey really began eight months ago when I entered my name in the lottery, fully confident I’d be selected.
It’s been an amazing ride ever since I got my email from Merilee confirming my entry in this 100-mile mountain bike race. Working with a coach for the first time, learning what it means to ride your bike for more than a few hours, riding Sonora Pass in the Sierra Nevadas, completing the 120-mile Triple Bypass in Colorado in 9 hours, and of course, previewing the actual Leadville course. Thousands of miles and hundreds of hours spent on my bike.
I’m honored to be racing with some of the greatest cyclists of my generation. It’s pretty amazing to think that I might be worthy of tagging along with those guys. Amazing.
I’ve done the work, suffered appropriately and I know I’m ready. Stay tuned…
