Yes my friends it is that time again......time to go and suffer for 200 lovely miles.  Last year i finished this year im going to finish the top 25! Stay tuned for more!

There is no set reason why i put myself through all this pain and sufferage.   Maybe because i have no reason NOT to.  There are people out in this world that suffer daily because they have no choice but to. Whatever it may be, I guess I do this to kinda give it back.....to make me thankful that my pain is only temporary while for others it is not. 

I can't do this i thought to my self as i began to warm-up............these guys are faster and stronger than I.  But then i realized that they breathe the same air i do,  and hurt just the same.  It's just a matter of who wants it more,  fifth place was a good first result for me.
