I lost, according to the computer, 5664 calories and I probably consumed around 1800 during the 9 hours. I hit "the wall" twice but recovered quickly each time thanks to those Power Gels that boast 2x Caffine! lol It really helped having people call out my name and take pictures and videos and stopping by to check on me throughout the day. That's a mental boost you can't get riding a century!
Next up is my 6th Annual Cancer Screening which takes place April 26. Last year we screened over 500 people in 4 hours and this year stacks up to be even better as I've added some free diagnostic tests from Walgreens and Sams Club.
