Summit Update – 9/24/09
I slept hard until about 4:15. The roosters had started by then, but I drifted back to sleep. By 6 I was up when I heard the crescendo of cow bells seemingly building on itself. There was no snooze button for this alarm. It was okay. I was up. T-shirt weather befitting lush jungle.
Short of yesterday’s short spin in Kubwa, I don’t feel like I’ve done much training since I left Crested Butte and that was more testing than long days. Dave had said all along that he wanted me to taper my training. I’d protested. Tapering had never worked for me. I always felt worse. My body seems to feel better with hard days. Somehow I think we’ll both get our wish.

WOW just seems such a silly word for such an enormous challenge. A challenge driven from the heart and one that has me on the edge of my seat. I pray that you will be strengtheneed on your way up and down. You are an unbelievable inspiration to us all. One day at a time pole-pole-pole.
