Oh my god, I just can't believe it. Today was our last meeting, gah!!! We just biked 125 miles in two days, gah gah gah! It's amazing how doing something as grueling as biking 95 miles with 30 mile an hour winds and 50 mile an hour gusts in a day can make you feel every emotion. I mean I went from anxiety, to pain, to utter joy, to deliriousness, to indifference, to joy again. It's insane. Funny thing is, yesterday was much harder than Saturday despite the winds because my knees were killing me even though they were fine on Saturday, I guess I was just sore. I think as a person, I am just much more in need of mental training than I am of physical training. Not to say I'm in great shape, but I think I'd be a lot better off with a bit more belief in my heart. Nevertheless, if I don't have it now, I will soon.When I think about where I was when I started this whole shindig, it's just insane. I remember going to my first meeting back in 2008. It was the year after the first ride. I knew I wouldn't have the opportunity to even apply until my senior year so I didn't go to a meeting again until this year. Amazingly enough, I was selected. I remember getting that email and hopping around my apartment so happy! It's crazy that less than a year ago, I hadn't ridden a bike in 11 years and now I'm 17 days away from biking 4500 miles in 72 days!I'm still nervous but after today's meeting, I am really excited for everything. I am just gonna train as hard as I can over the next few weeks so I can be as ready as I can for this trip of a lifetime. I guess I'll talk to you next from the road.See you soon!
