Saw an article in the Alamogordo Daily News the Friday before you started, so decided to follow you and the other racers. Have really gotten into it. Reading your messages, I feel your highs and lows. So happy for you that you were able to get past the pain and get to where you are now, nearly in NM. Makes me wish I was 30 years younger and able to do what you are doing. Instead, I do my 3+ miles here in the Sacramento Mountains on good roadbed. When I don't feel like getting on my bike, I think of what you are doing and push myself forward. Thank you for inspiring me to do the best that I can do.
