October 13,2009
Had an easy ride today. Was actually going to go out for a longer ride but didn't sleep to well and was a little sluggish. Decided not to push it. Rode 25 miles. It was real easy. I am at the point now that if I do not go 40 miles it just seems like a "jog". Granted I have not been pushing my rides. Keep them at about 15 mph. When I go inside on the trainer, I will really start to do interval work and start to build up my anaerobic capacity. Each ride my confidence builds that I can indeed do the Tour mileage.

About Me
- Phil Benson
- I am 64 years old and have been a visionary my whole life. I saw Frank Shorter win the Olympics in 1972, and I said I want to run a marathon. Since then I have run 50. I watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii on TV and I said I want to do that. 3 years later I finished the Iron man in Hawaii. I was 45 at the time. I watched all of the Tour de France this year,2009,and I said I want to do that. Unable to compete in the Tour, I will do the same miles they do on the same days in July. Can I do it? The saying goes "Man can achieve what the mind can conceive".
