My Last and Worst Bucket100

Phase 2 Part 2 Evaluation

weight: 218lbs

bucket: 121.2mi

total: 291.7

i was so close. i got down to 218lbs, it was difficult to do more. i was only able to work out twice last week, been so busy preparing to the job fair and packing for bucket. riding didn't help me lose too much since i ate a lot to replenish my fuel source.

bucket was awful. haha. usually they schedule it sometime in november, but this year they thought they would be nice by trying to go before it got too cold. but the temperature dropped last weekend and the weather was awful for the ride. it rained on saturday with freezing wind, and was so cold with a 30mph head wind on sunday. i've never done such a hard ride. CoverIN was so much better than this!!! so, in the end, i was not able to succeed in my goal of passing the Orange Helmet on to someone else (unless you count the guy i rode with the whole time and made sure i was in front of him as we got to the finish line) so yea, now i have really lame bragging rights, everyone's gonna think i'm crazy, and i'm so sore. it stinks that i was not able to enjoy the ride too much considering that this was my last one. really disappointing. and i was in such an awful mood today. it was so hard to concentrate in school, all i could think of was how everything hurt and how cold i was. i really hope i don't get sick, i tried so hard to dress well. totally did not get a cyclist's high, and i think RJ's gonna have to go into storage for the rest of the season, especially if it stays this cold. man.....

so yea, i tried as well as i could to accomplish Phase 2 Part 2, so now i think it's time to move onto Phase 3. but i'll set those goals in another blog post at a time when sitting at the computer doesn't hurt so much.
