On Wednesday after work, Scott, Brett, Chris and I leave for Wisconsin for the Chequamegon 40.
Since I will most likely run out of time, motivation, and energy to make a pre-race post between now and Wednesday, here it is.
I'm ill prepared, under trained, and super excited.
I originally planned to make this the "focus" of my biking season, really training and preparing for it.
Unfortunately, work, grad school, and throwing a lot of mental energy into the fertility issues have managed to change those plans. (I know, excuses excuses -- but what good are excuses if you don't use them when you need them?)
I still think I'll do alright though, and here's why:
1) My bike is awesome. The squeaky ladybug should strike fear in those around me and they will simply move out of the way and let me past.
2) While the race is UP in Wisconsin, it is also WAY DOWN in Wisconsin. There will be so much oxygen in the air that I'm sure my body will sprout an extra lung. That can only help.
3) Our new team kits are sewn together with magical threads and there is a hidden rocket in the back pocket.
4) It's 40 miles. Only 40 miles. That's nothing. That's what I tell myself at least.
So, in all, piece of cake.
No problem.
I can't wait!!
