Viking and Arch
One week to your death ride. Are you guys just taking it easy this week or do you plan on riding? Arch, do you plan on acclimatizing?

I have no idea what is proper.
Friday I did 50 hard and fast for me, which is relative of course. Saturday, today, I did 85 easy. Tomorrow, probably fifty moderate. Monday moderate thirty. Tuesday's a run day. Wednesday a swim day. Thursday moderate run. Friday spin legs for an hour. Saturday follow the locomotive, Steve for all day. This race concerns me due to distance. But that's the challenge. I realize I don't have enough miles to race it seriously but it still be fun.

Viking is such a fabulous cyclist, I hope I don't drag him down so much. Long, lanky and elegant in riding style. I'm much more the ugly duckling masher.

In Logan, checked in, last pre-race ride, and Viking is checking in as we speak.
Viking reserved the room for a "smoker". Funny guy. He looks to be in awesome shape. One tandem of husband and wife, extremely fit, told me they did it in under eleven hours. I may be ashamed of myself tomorrow.
