Tomorrow is my first official group ride training for the Poconos Half Ironman. I cannot believe that I am going to race that distance. Mountain Valley Bicycles, in the area of Stroudsburg, PA is sponsoring this ride. Apparently, we will be riding the whole 56 mile route plus an extra 14 to and from the start from the bicycle store...Some people have been contemplating running afterwards! I know that I have run after a long bike ride, but not 70 miles! But the only way to go is onwards and upwards as they say...someone, I'm not quite sure who.
I googled the phrase and this is what I got:
Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin,
But onward, upward, till the goal ye win.
- Francis Anne Kemble (1809-1893)
Pretty cool, and the little bio that I found about this woman was interesting as well. A little side trip away from triathlonlandia.
Awesome Pat! Have a great ride tomorrow. Can't wait to hear all about it :)
