And here I am finally crossing the finish line of my 100 mile bike ride.

I set out to stretch myself and contribute to a good cause.  In the end, I made new friends and accomplished something I didn't think I could.  Even better, I learned a lot about fitness and performance along the way.  I ended up riding a total of almost 120 miles that day.  I finished in the top 100 of the >2,000 field of riders.  We had been trained and prepared well.  I had enough energy left to ride back from the finish line to pick up remaining members of my team to wind-break and encourage them on to the finish line.  We did this until we had every last one successfully across the finish.  It was a fulfilling day.  :)
