Thanks, Denise, for posting that. I will sure miss your training reports, and can hardly wait for the race report. I've learned about endurance and mental toughness from "watching" you, and also about just going full-out for your dream. Too bad about the chocolate. Are you sure? Yes, I guess you would be, having given it a decent, and no doubt repeated try!

You know I'll be thinking of you and pulling for you all week. Glad to hear that last training ride/run was a good one. Isn't the bike just the best?!? L.
