June 29, 2010,
It was very hot outside this morning and I saw no need to ride. With just 4 days to go before I start, not much can be gained by riding in real hot weather now. Just took it easy and started to organize things. I have put the names of cancer survivors who have donated to the LAF on my bike. I have also added the name of my mother in law and a cousin both who battled cancer till the end. These are the people who I am riding for and will keep me going.
Saturday is the first day and is basically a ceremonial ride of 5 miles. I will be riding with the Jim Vaccaro, president of Central Jersey Bank my sponsor, my wife and a good friend Michael Abrams. Sunday is the first real test as the weather is supposed to be in the 90s and I have the longest ride of the event, 140 miles.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 50
Total Distance: 0 miles
Total Time: 0 hours

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".
