Still the man. Still crazy. I think your nutrition program needs more pizza loading!

They say when one door closes, another one opens. That may have been true for me after yesterday's ride. There are two organizations in the US for endurance cycling. I picked RUSA because they were more active in North Carolina. The other is the Ultra Marathon Cycling Assoc. They have some strong members in NC including a few of my RUSA pals. I was in Lumberton earlier this year when Maria Parker was setting a new World Record for the women's 12 hour time trial. Well, I drove to Sunset Beach yesterday to get my drop bag and to carry some supplies to the control. Maria was the control official there. We chat for a while as we both have time to kill. I told her my interest in doing a 24 hour time trial in Sebring Florida one day. She then happily informed me that I didn't have to go all the way to Florida that NC was getting it's first official RAAM qualifying 24 hour cycling time trial in just 3 weeks in Little Washington. I just had the perfect practice run on a 24 hour event. If I had finished the 1200k, I would not have recovered in time to do this, but now the light bulb is going off. It will also settle those voices in my head. Don't tell Susan. http://www.midatlanticultrasports.com/Home_Page.php They also have a 12 hour time trial, a 100 mile race and a 100 mile non-competitive ride, in case anyone is interested! Expanding my horizons! Maybe! ----- Original Message ----- From: James Lamm<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 2:56 PM Subject: Re: [COWs] 1200K (DNF) Tim, I agree with Jeff. You're still da man in my eyes. If I'd been riding like you have, I would have been burned out long ago. Not feeling good from a summer cold can put a damper on the fun factor. Hey, don't despair, ignore the voices. Right now I can't imagine anything more fun than riding and sprinting with the local dudes?

Too many things not going right and I was not having any fun late into the ride Wednesday night. Multiple causes for my demise like still getting over a summer cold, but the main culprit was showing up still 20 to 25 lbs overweight to a ride with this much climbing involved on day one. I was the heftiest dude on the starting line. My cheeseburger, beer and ice cream plan failed me! The worst part is that I still could have finished this ride but the fun factor was gone and my heart wasn't in the game anymore so I choose to bail. Now I live with the voices in my head. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
