I write you this blog from the comforts of our condo in picturesque Big Sky,Mt. It’s surreal to think that over a week ago our lives were altered forever. The gun went off, and friendships became deeper,our resolve stronger, our tenacity, that much more. Our relationships across the board, more meaningful.. Along the way things did not transpire as expected, with me being forced out of the fun way too early, but that is the cruel hand of destiny, and I learn the lessons I am supposed to learn, and I live to race another day. I fed my team a meal this morning,and sent them out on their last 36 mile trek to Ennis Lake where I will meet them to feed them and send them off on their last 31 mile bike ride to the finish on the steps of the Big Sky Resort. My friends, my Tecnu Extreme team-mates will have accompiished a daunting task, and I’m sure it will be an emotional moment for me having put in the time, and started the course only to be forced to cheer from the sidelines,but ultimately I could not be happier than I am that they followed through on what I asked of them.”You must go on, and you must finish this course no matter what.” They have integrity. They have huge inner strength, and tommorrow,they will have finished the course. Those memories, will last forever, and I am proud of my association with them. I love you guys. Get er done…..
A nice soft bed, and a cold beer await the victor… I’m buying..
