i was reading up a little bit earlier about TOSRV and im thinking about signing up for it...i just know if i pay to get into it, get stuff im gonna need (helmet, finally pull the trigger on cleats to go with the clipless pedals that came with the bike 2 years ago), and the day comes and its shitty weather, im not going to want to ride it one bit. i'd probably only ride down though...i couldnt do 210 miles in 2 days.
i think in 45 days i can get myself up to the point where i could do a century...30 milers dont really hurt like they use to, 60 miles a few times last year wasnt bad, was a little sore by about 50 miles, but nothing that slowed me down. if its 105 down, i could do that and just catch a ride back...it might take me 8 hours overall to pull it off, but i'd do it. if that 400lb guy just did a marathon in just under 10 hours, i could push myself to finish the down trip. lol
