Thanks a million Sarah!! I need all the coaching points I can get!

Getting my head wet is a great idea...I only did that *after* the ride last week. I will be sure to keep that in mind for tomorrow *during* the ride. It feels so good to put cold water on a hot head!

I don't think I would have thought of ice in the bra...but another good idea!

I will be sure to talk to my coaches (who ever is riding in the back with me ) about my finishing, hydrating and eating. Yup! I am "Tail-End-Charlie"! But it comes with perks like having a coach with you almost all the time.
