May 24, 2010,
Today was a rest day. I believe I needed it. I am getting up early each morning, 5:30 as that is when my body wakes up. Since the weather is warmer now, I am on the road no later than 7:00 Last night I fell asleep at 9:30. It is 4:30 in the afternoon now as I write this and I am tired and I didn't bike today.
I really think I am physically ready for the event. I am going to try and keep the long rides to 3 times a week and fill in with 30 to 50 mile rides on the other days. I am also going to start to cut back on quad lifts and my arm lifts. I think they are causing my back to tighten and with only about a month to go and I don't think there is much benefit any more. The biking itself is the exercise I need.

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".
