In my 7th 24hr solo and on my 7th lap, a moment of finality struck me...I was done...not so much physically as mentally. I no longer have the desire to do these races. I've made my "mark" if you want to call it that with some pretty good success the last four years. Whether it's the training involved, the highs and lows of the race, or just the idea I have nothing left to prove to myself in doing these events....I know I'm done now. And I'm very happy with that, as is my wife and my parents. Unfortunately, my end came during the race rather than after it was over, but sometimes that's how things work out. Oh well.
Still excited about riding and competing, but the extended planning, training, and suffering I will not miss.
Now to find that next personal challenge....hmmm, that Western States...thing sounds interesting!?!??!?! LOL.
Bye for now....
