I have to be honest that I'm not sure if I am ready for this trip. It doesn't help when my mom continues to tell me to go somewhere they have good hospitals. Hey, I'm not there for the full tour just the tour of the mountains.
All that I've read about my excursion is that this will be a true test of my mind and body. Day one is the hardest as there is more than 10,000 feet elevation gain. And that is only day one. I won't be able to make it out to Colorado to train so I'll be a bit at a disadvantage, but I will have the opportunity to acclimate for 2-3 days before climbing the mountains
I have my work cut out for me. 3 days will be on the trails and right now I'm trying to find any trails around the area to simulate the terrain. I have been told that there will be steep accents and descents with ice patches and cobblestone. Some have even gotten lost and wondered off the course.
I have 7 weeks to go in my training and need to step it up. So if anyone wants to do a workout, let me know. Hey that includes hiking, biking, swimming, spin classes, and aerobics. Also, does anyone know if good trails that I can run on? Let me know....post it here in the comments box. And yes, where it says comments that mean YOU can leave something here for everyone to see.
Happy trails...
