TD 2011 Training Entry #1: Ain’t No Tailwinds In Texas
Dang…less than three measly months to go before the TD and I’m just now getting around to my first real training post for 2011. I’ve let my gajillions of faithful readers down. What would Charlie Sheen say? I bet it would be something along the lines of:
“I’m tired of losing all my gold into the fucking ether-sphere of...
TD 2010 Entry #1: Pre-Race
The brutal heat of the south Texas summer was in full scorchitude when Amy and I prepared to leave for Canada. As we waited at our gate to board our flight, I sat with my back towards the window and gave an over-the-shoulder, one fingered salute to the oppressive 100 degree, 100 percent humidity weather...
TD 2010 Entry #2: Grand Depart
June 11th, 2010, 6 AM. The alarm on my Freestyle watch chimed needlessly. I’d been awake for an hour, lying next to my slumbering wife, eyes staring at a ceiling that could have been the sky on Mars for all I knew. I saw nothing. My mind was living in a world three hours in the future. A bevy of...
TD 2010 Entry #3: Unspoken Advice From a Turtle
Looking back on it now, the start of my Tour Divide did not go exactly as I’d pictured. In my fantasies months before the race, I had pictured myself laughing, fist pumping, hootin’ and hollerin’. In reality, I was a nervous mess. As I entered the trailhead, I was fidgety and uncomfortable in my...
TD 2010 Entry #4: Elkford – 110 Miles
Canada is gorgeous. It is just absolutely gorgeous. In a few short days, I’d seen a life’s worth of beauty in and around Banff, but as I pedaled my way south down the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, the Canadian Rockies just started mercilessly pouring it on. Words fail me when trying to capture...
TD 2010 Entry #5: Butts Cabin – 87 Miles
June 12th, one full day of divide racing under my belt. It felt great saying that to myself. I was living my dream adventure. Hell yeah!
After being wide awake and completely amped all night long (see previous post), I was up and rarin’ to go at 6 AM. Bob, Suzanne and I packed up our filthy belongings,...
TD 2010 Entry #6: Eureka – 70 Miles
5:00 AM could not come soon enough for me. As I lay awake most of the night, mentally reviewing my performance thus far, I determined that Day 3 of the Tour Divide was going to be a turning point. For starters, I expected to gain a triumphant mental boost by crossing the border today. More importantly, I...
TD 2010 Entry #7: Ferndale – 135 Miles
For the first time in the race, I didn’t mind getting a late start. With Bob’s accident still fresh in my mind, getting up early to make big miles was just not at the forefront of my psyche. I was harboring some kind of strange trepidation about what Day 4 may be holding in store for me. I was uneasy…out of...
TD 2010 Entry #8: My Final Days
This is the post I’ve been dreading. It heralds the beginning of the end of my race. I really don’t even want to write it…the memories of deciding to quit are still painful and embarrassing. Write it, I will, though. You didn’t come here to read an incomplete story. But, fair warning…. I’m just going to mash the final three days together and get it over with as quickly as possible! 
TD 2010 Entry #9: Lessons Learned
My 2010 Tour Divide, though short lived, was still an experience like no other. From the time I began training until the day I dropped, it was a phenomenal ride, full of equal parts grueling hardship and ever-remembered beauty. Although I still yearn for a finish (and by God I will have it this year), I feel that I have learned some valuable lessons in how to approach the race this time around. Because I am not your typical TD racer, I do not assume that these lessons will be of great...
