My first Century is Saturday - Terrified with Questions ...

[Grog]

I can't find it anymore, but there was an interesting article in the Globe & Mail (big Canadian newspaper) about the many athletes who were definitely NOT sporty in their younger years.

So some of us who were not jocks in high school might end up at the Olympics someday!!

Oh WOW - so much great advice and support here. Normally I'd try to respond to every post but I'm running around packing and doing laundry to get ready to drive up tomorrow so I'll just say a HUGE THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I cannot tell you how helpful it is for me to hear from everyone that has been in a similar situation. I love to hear of others in TNT programs and your first experiences. Its always helped me. I also love hearing stories of you athletes who were NOT athletic or even active before - I'm 50 to 60 lbs. overweight and I have sort of been thinking that if I have fun and it goes well maybe I'll be inspired to lose some weight and go back next year. But one step at a time ...

I lost my nerves sometime Tuesday night or yesterday and now I'm just pumped and excited! After some advice from a PCOS expert and my doctor I'm going with a plan of GU20 in my bottles, and GU on the road and then stocking up and enjoying the stops - I hear they're incredible!

Anyway - I'm off to finish packing. Everyone ... thank you so much again! I'll be sure to post my ride report when I get back on Sunday!
