Anybody else hear this story yesterday on All Things Considered? It's worth a listen if you didn't. I appreciate that NPR chose to do a story on women, rather than men, competing in two Olympic events that are somewhat less high-profile than, say, swimming or gymnastics.

Yesterday's NPR story on female Olympic cyclists
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

It was a good story, heard it on my way home from work.
Cheers to NPR for having a story on women athletes, especially when the sport is dominated by the other sex.

I hadn't even kept up to the point of knowing there was an Olympic-level mountain biking event, but I was stoked to read about it. Also, I clicked on this link from the TE Facebook and was surprised to see it on NPR, not some local newspaper.
So awesome!!

I enjoyed it too. Stayed in the parking lot at the bank to hear the end.
