I thought it would be a great idea to share with the world my bike training adventures so that others may realize that there are always challenges, hiccups, good and bad times. But the important thing that we all must learn is that we must laugh and just go with it. Never ever give up, besides when you are done and you look back it's great just to laugh and look at everything you went through and endured and to know you still made it through! We are all stronger then we think.

Day 5, Final Day
I slept in until 5:45 today! Boy was that nice! I had a lot to do though, but figured I could get it all done before breakfast started at 6:30. WRONG... lol I had clothes to figure out inside and out and I had to get my blue hair done. Phew. None the least by the time was all said and done and I got breakfast and more people were signing my shirt. It was almost 8 am... So I ventured out and once again managed to go off track once more.. boy I sure have gotten lost a lot this last trip... I was making phenomenal time though once I got on track, I was riding between 13-15 miles and hour which sure in the heck was beating the 9mph I was going for day upon days. I am sure the flatness of the trail and the fact my husband took all my luggage except my emergency bags was even better. So it was going great. When I hit south Lebanon I was going to text my husband, but this guy rides up next to me and says hey aren't you the girl who was in holmes county with the flat tire... I started laughing.. He was one of the guys that helped me. That was so nice. He said boy I was worried about you and wondered if you were going to make it all the way here. Him and his friend rode with me for about a good 15-20 minutes gave me a fist bump we each snapped pictures while riding and then he headed off. Shortly after that, everything started closing in on me, I couldn't see straight my whole body started getting that tingly pass out feeling and it was just not good, I called my husband to let him know It was not good. He told me to rest, but I couldn't I had already tried that and almost fainted... it was terrible and it was like no one was around and I thought this is it, I have pushed myself to hard and been through way to many extremes out here and this is how I am going to die, in the middle of a trail? I mean it was bad. I managed to make it to a town and I sat, and threw water on myself, my body started shaking, I then though maybe my sugar was low from riding and not really eating or drinking, but I couldn't.. my stomach was acting up and my body just didn't want that kidn of stuff. None the least I pulled through it some how, sucked it up and prayed that I could finish this ride, for me, the school, and Ray... I really struggled, but I just slowed my pace way down.. it all worked out. I got lost a few more times after I got off in newton, and I took the Wooster pike, bit scary when I forgot my helmet with my husband... lol but none the least I finished about 70 miles by 3 pm and we headed home... So not much excitement today except for the fact I finished... So glad to finally go home and not have to wake up and pedal... lol
