Stp 2010

Somewhere around mile 65, I started suffering from my lack of coffee. I didn't have the presence of mind to find a coffee stand until I started getting the withdrawl headach from hell. Luckily, I found a discarded, but unopened packet of cliff shot with caffeine. I sucked it down feeling like some kind of junkie, but quickly got some relief. Don't tell anybody, eh?

I don't know why, but this statement TOTALLY reminds me of Hyperbole and a Half... I can actually picture the drawings she'd make to go along with it...

That picture does actually does illustrate the joy of finding sombody's skanky discarded cliff shot at exactly the right moment...

I laughed so hard I tooted, btw.

ZooZoo - congrats! I remember your report last year and I'm stoked that you came back this year and got your finish - I knew you would!

Laura, Jessica, congrats to you as well! I've enjoyed reading your ride reports. I'm so glad you all had a safe finish and didn't get caught up in any of the crashes (sounds like there were quite a few!)

Reading your reports almost makes me wish I'd ridden it this year. *almost*...but not quite.

Thanks Malaholic! Last year was an accomplishment (125 miles) but not finishing was a true disappointment. I had to do it this year, 'cause I wasn't going to let it beat me. LOL.

Congrats to all the rides who rode!

Congrats to all STP riders! Such an accomplishment. I think if I do do it next year, I will heed the advice and start early early early in the chilly morning rather than waiting for the crowds. The only time I ride in big groups is during triathlons, which isn't exactly the same. As with driving in the snow, it's not me I fear, it's the others around me. That one-day patch is pretty sexy, but I think finishing it at all is huge.

Very exciting!! Recover well.
