IMWI Recap

--This recap got a bit long for me but I thought the opening quote and following paragraph were solid. Chubby's has decided it is time for it to happen.--

"There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." ~ Victor Hugo

(article author): As profound as it may seem otherwise, remember that's all it was - time for it to happen. We can't forever go in the direction of something without arriving, after all. I'm also neither so much stronger nor more courageous than any others out there who struggle to shed their fears and doubts and baggage and then simply begin fighting more efficiently in the endeavor of being free. I believed, people loved me, and that's all it was, really.

her blog is www.throughth3wall.com. She was part of that raceathlete group that got new bikes, coaches, etc. Her stuff gets quite lengthy, but has some OK insight. She DNF last year, but appears to have finished this year.

Pretty cool article, I did read the whole thing. I dig the personal perspective. But what's with all this "hill" business. She keeps talking about coming up on "hills."

I was told there'd be no hills.

Also, I thought Heather and I had discussed MentalMan to death but this article brought up a possibility I hadn't considered, a DNF. It's not that we didn't talk about a possible DNF, but we didn't talk about the fact that if I don't finish I will have to go back to the following year, and the next, etc. until it gets done. Frightening.

No hills? Who told you no hills?

And DNF isn't in the realm of possiblity of this group.

Kidding about the no hills.

But, if there is any way...
