Brutal Bike Ride

Cinders and ashes! (A reference to Thomas the Tank, which Nico watches daily). That bike ride was brutal! To say that the course is "hilly" is an understatement. When I think hills, I picture hills in my neighborhood, not hill country hills that take 10 minutes to climb.

The worse part is, every time I was almost to the top of the next hill, I thought, "Okay, this is it. I've reached the top and now I can coast." But, I was wrong, because once I was on top of the hill, all I could see was the next LARGER hill that I had to climb. This continued for 12 miles!

I did it, but I thought I was going to die. I hope I don't have to do it again until the day of the race.
