April 8, 2010,
Didn't really know how I would feel the day after my 90 mile ride. Yesterday's ride was on the same type of roads and distance I will be doing in the event. So I was really curious to see how my legs would feel and my body. I had planned to ride easy and not to long. I got out early to beat the wind. Now if I do not go over 3 hours I feel the ride was not really a ride. I kept today's ride on the flats and headed North and turned around and went south. Got the ride in before the stronger winds came later in the day. To be honest, I felt really good. What I decided, is that I will try and alternate flat roads with going west into some hills.
This weekend I am going west again to scout out some more areas to do my rides in. Tomorrow I am going to try and take the day off. I am going to get on a schedule of a day off every 8 days as it is in the event.
Crunches: 400
Push ups 125
Total Distance: 50 miles
Total Time: 3 hours and 17 minutes

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".
