Took a ride on Tuesday with a group that meets at College Green in Iowa City. Figured it would be a good chance to see how fit I am... put things in perspective. Hung around for about 25 miles, then slugged the rest of the way with a group of three. Flash flood rains, thunder and lightening, combined with dropping temperatures made it a long 55 miles. A short 3 hours later the house was in sight.
This got me thinking how far I've yet to go.
Backstory
My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2008. It was caught early. Aggressive bilateral mastectomy was the choice. My concern was the lack of a cohesive focus to find a cure. I wanted a definitive course, I wanted strong leadership, I wanted to know the solution. So, I did what any normally crazy supportive co-survivor would do... enlisted for an ironman.
