June 5, 2010,
I knew it was going to be hot today so I tried to get up an go early. Could only get out by 7 am. Rode inland into a west wind. I did the course that goes for 62 miles and then added some. Today was all about the search for water. I saw a lady watchng her husband cut the lawn and asked her for water. She filled up my bottle. Than I finally found a store when I needed water in both bottles. By the time I finished the temperature was approaching 90 degrees. Today is exactly one month from the start of the event.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 25
Total Distance: 70 miles
Total Time: 4 hours and 35 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".
