After 70 miles and 5000′ of climbing I feel more like myself!   Maybe I can return to top fitness this year?   All of the men on the team are really riding well and they are all much improved from 2008.    The first part of the ride was very animated with a good dig on wild cat canyon.   I was able to climb with the 135lbs’ers and the amazing climbing tandem of Dave/Clark, thanks to Mari for bridging me back on the climb.    Mari Holden, Silver Medalist 2004 Games,  is training with us.   Mari will be riding as a tandem pilot this year.   I guess you could say that our program is going in the right direction!   We also have found a young guy, Reese, who is a double bk amputee and he is amazing.   Reese climbs like its his job!  He is going to well in the sport if he decides that’s what he wants to do.     I am excited to be with the team and training again.

Today we are meeting with a nutritionist?    I am a bit nervous about learning what I already know….I have a problem with food and discipline.    I am going to commit myself to changing my lifestyle and diet.
