Trans-Rockies 2012

[GLC1968]

You know, there was a time not long ago when an adventure for me was a walk to the end of the block (and not even all the way around).

This is kind of where I am now. I had to 'jog' about 200 yards for a ferry over the weekend and it felt strangely exciting and dangerous (and scary and hopefully not too stupid).

You are truly and inspiration to me!

They are doing great today, too! It looks like they are in 4th place with the hardest part of the day past them with only a few more miles to go.

Awesome!

Ladies, thanks so much for the excitement!

The tracking doesn't show everyone, just the people who signed up for the tracking. BUT! We are doing well. We won the stage for our age group today but are still in 2nd overall (for our age group). The gap between us and the really badass French women is about 6 minutes. Tomorrow's stage will be tough; all at high elevation and a lot of flat/rolling (which I don't do very well on).

The group is amazing, as is the energy. I'm having a great time!

I don't know if I'll have reception tomorrow or Friday, but should on . I will check in then!

<3 to all of you!

Good luck, Yellow!!! Keep up the hard work!!!

(I'm trying to talk my hubs into doing this with me next year in celebration of my 40th b-day). You are providing me with such inspiration!!!!

For some, an adventure is a walk around the block. For others, a walk around the world. Both meaningful--the stuff that makes up a life. You only get one. We all need to just keep adventuring, no matter the "size" of the adventure!

I love this too! May I quote you on the TE facebook page?

WooHoo! Nice job out there today! The pictures on the TRR website are great. Are you camping in those spacious tents?

We are in Vail tonight and have reception, so here's an update.

We've won 3 of the 5 stages but are in 2nd after today. We had the lead for one day but the badass French team got us today. We had a rough start and weren't able to make up the time. Still, we've been on the podium every night and are very, very, very happy with the way things are going.

What only a select group knew until now is that I went into this with a torn hamstring. I tore it 3 weeks to the day before the race and thought that I might not be able to run at all. I rehabbed it pretty aggressively and have been wearing compression every day (and at night when I sleep). It's cranky but I will finish. Today is the first day that I had to take Lortabs And, yes, I plan to take a lot of time off after this event!

One more stage tomorrow. I cannot tell you all what an incredible experience this is. An experience of a lifetime. Truly.
