Rockwell, what an experience!

Soooo. . . I did it and I cannot tell you how fun it was!  Our team was so fun!  It was Jon and I, my friend, Melanie Stewart and Eric Jensen.  Eric was the innocent bystander.  What a great guy.  The people alone, have made these experiences awesome.  I have met the nicest people ever doing these races.

This race was challenging, it was a very humbling experience.  It leaves that "want" in me to go out and train harder.  I didn't complete all my legs, no one on my team did but we tried and we had so much fun doing it.  To not complete it, is gonna eat at me.  I want more than anything to really prepare and come back with a vengeance.

Little Red

Well, I did it. . . I rode my bike 100 miles!  It was so fun, a little scary, but so much fun.  I'm not gonna lie, there were times that I really questioned my mental health.  My longest training ride, before the actual 100 was 28 miles, I had only been on my bike three times since September, AND I'm really quite scared of going down hills (the big steep ones) on my bike.  I always have these thoughts of losing my breaks or just losing control of the bike.   I have high anxiety when it comes to trying new things which causes me to nervously eat, but that's a different subject for a different day.  I'm extremely excited that I did it, this is a very proud moment for me.  It was 100 miles and 6 hours of overcoming my bike fears.  I won that battle!

I'm heading down to Moab this weekend to do the Rockwell Relay with Jon.  I'm so excited, it will be our first event together.  Again, I'm a little nervous, but I sure am glad that I did Little Red, it really helped me to feel much more comfortable on my bike (Jon made some adjustments to my bike as well, that really helped me feel more stable, he's so good to me).  I guess we'll see how this one goes.  Oh, and Ragnar, that's the weekend after Rockwell.  Wow, again, I find myself questioning my sanity. . .
