Dang it, Deb - I did the 45 miles in Austin last weekend as well! Wish I'd known you were there so we could've met. I was riding alone and it was pretty lonely - especially after seeing all those other teams arrive! This was my first LIVESTRONG ride and I had no idea what I was doing lol - things will be different next year, that's for sure! We're thinking of starting a team - Team Spin Cycle!

I'm glad you finished and did well. I managed to finish, but it was HARD. We don't have hills like that where I live and they definitely took their toll on me. I'll know how to train much better for next year. I want to try the Outlaw Trails 100 up in Round Rock next year as well.

Congratulations on finishing and good luck with training for your next event!
