yeah, I like that quote, I am the only one responsible for me.... it's 100% up to me to do better or worse. I admire those who have made the commitment to improve their performance whether it's at our level or the elite athlete. I love it when you are challenged to do more than you think you can do and overcome it. Even if it's a runner going for a 10 minute mile when the runner is giving it 100%.

I absolutely agree. The feeling of satisfaction when I completed the Farm Ride last year was amazing. The longest training ride Lynn and I had done was 40-45 miles, and to be able to complete what wound up being 78 miles was immensely gratifying. I knew Lynn could do it, I wasn't so sure about me as a second year rider.

Probably the same for you and some of the terrain that you were dropping into last year at your Chile camp, a little bit surprised by your own accomplishments.
