This is a phrase I have tried to live by for a long time. It is the back bone to EK Endurance Coaching and has served us well. However, when see a veteran with 1 leg or 1 arm or no legs finish this race as the "operation rebound" athletes did... it takes on an even higher meaning.

Checking out the bike course the day before. Where I would have to lay down my big effort to be up there with the leaders.

Vegas! I caught up with a friend that nite and celebrated Las Vegas style!
