The Journey to Arizona...

Okay....  So here it is, a passion for the road and speed ..... It started as a way to get outside, explore a bit and burn some calories.  Oh but it grew into so much more... The miles became therapy, a time to think,a time to look at all the things in front of me, a way to push myself in ways I never thought possible.  The first race was about finishing, then the next followed was about speed, and then next distance.  Now the story goes on.  A shot in the dark for a scholarship.  A long shot, for sure..but I tried none the less.  My daughter said to me a very long time ago, you never know unless you try.  So I tried and I was chosen.  So here I am, I figure it is not just about the event but it is about the journey that exist in between now and then.  What I gain from it, what I learn, how I grow. I figured I could share in my journey.  The time, route, distance, average speed and most importantly perhaps what I learned... And no it will not always be about the sport. It may be in fact about me, about what is around me, what I see, what I feel... So enjoy with me my journey.

  3. You will be in very good hands with the PAC Tour folks. I've done a number of their tours, including the desert camp where you're headed and the Northern Transcontinental, where I met Anne Marie McSweeney in 2004.
