May 15, 2010,
I got an early start this morning and headed west. Once I do my first 15 miles the roads turn country as I go thru horse country. Real beautiful ride thru Colts Neck. Enjoyed the ride this morning. When I headed back I needed a few more miles so I came back to the ocean and headed north for a while. Didn't go to far north because there was a strong wind out of the north. Just enough miles to give me the distance I wanted. Tonight I am going to dinner with Rene to celebrate our 39th anniversary. Would have liked to ride long again tomorrow, but we have to go to my nephew's college graduation. I will try and get up real early to get an easy ride in.
So far everything is moving forward. Of course the beauty of this whole journey is the unknown. Today I did 4 hours. During the event that would be only half a days ride. I believe it is all mental. We shall see.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 50
Total Distance: 61 miles
Total Time: 4 hours 7 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".
