What to do?

[Veronica]

I really liked the whole experience of doing Barb's Race. I thought it would be cool to make it an annual event.

Of course as soon as I started thinking about DMD, I remembered how un-fun certain parts were.

As far as training goes... I could be ready if I got serious now. I don't have the saddle time, but I'm much fitter overall than I was the last time I did it.

Wow. That is a lot more sane than past years. I bet there are a lot of people who do it this year. Tough choice.

I have nothing to add except to say how in awe I am at those among you who do ultra-distance, especially when it involves climbing. Wow! Whatever you decide, good luck!

[maillotpois]

So did you decide?

[Veronica]

Yeah, thanks for asking. All it took was one simple question from Thom. "Which training is more enjoyable?"

Even on days when I'm doing a long run or a brick, it doesn't suck up the whole day. Although when I said something about how much tris cost. I got, "You're going back to doing brevets at 10 bucks a pop!" He was joking of course.

Let us know when you do those non-training rides though - like King's Ridge last year. I miss riding with you guys.

Well good for you for choosing. It's good to be in a position where you're able to choose from things like that, both good and challenging options.

Definitely still a challenge. Someday, maybe... I'll get under a ten minute mile for the run.
