I arrived in Augusta GA yesterday afternoon after a 7 hour treck from home in NC. For my part it was an uneventful journey as I kept a steady stream of positive and motivating vibes going!
I road out on the course late yesterday evening and I have to say my cycling coach Dan Shelby nailed this peak right on the money, I had some lingering fatigue in my legs but I could turn up the power as needed. The hills I thought were problem areas back in April just didn't seem all that much. Thats more positive vibes on my side. Today there was no fatigue and I felt awesome!
With the exception of the camping trailer ( which is an new addition ) everything I planned on doing and milestones I wanted to reach have been attained. Last December I used a program called mind map now called mind jet ( I have no stock in this co ) to fully in great detail plan getting ready for this event. In the beginning some of the areas were blank but I put a need in there and looked for some one or something to fill it, in the end only the results have to be filled in.
Isolated away from the madness of the minions of riders that are here for this race I can prepair mentaly and spiritualy in a totaly amazing setting! I can't say I am not nerveous or scared for that matter, there very well could be some big things on the line and a holla ba lou if I can pull the win off, it will be the classic out of no where underdog win. It will take the ultimate ride of my life and each day I train on the course I feel the ride of my life coming to the surface.
This is an excelent time in my life, one of many but this one was a long time coming and I put allot of myself into this allot, I feel for what I did and the magnatude of this event I kept a fair ballance maybe not much futher than my close family circle but I tried and I think they know.
Its a big adventure on the road racing a bike and loving it so for the 27 min of racing 365 days have been put into the bank account of the past, so here goes, I am taking a lump sum withdrawal
