June 28, 2010,
Seems that the virus left me during the night. Got a fairly good nights sleep. Was up early as usually. Left to bike at 6 am. It already was 80 degrees outside. The hot weather is supposed to break later today. I was weak since I did not eat yesterday so I went for a short ride. I am also winding down now as we are only 5 days away from the beginning of the event. It is getting a little scary but I will just have to take it one day at a time. I do not have anyone who has committed to ride with me and only two people to help with the support vehicle. So I have to rethink where I will ride and how I will get water. I tried carrying an extra bottle in my shirt and that was OK. I believe I will pass enough stores that I can get water. If it becomes a real problem I can always ride indoors for a day or two. That's the excitement of the unknown.

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".
