I can't believe I ever gave up cycling 17 years ago. A wasted and short career in the restaurant biz left me with a taste for rich food, booze and cigarettes. Finally kicked the booze and smokes by running for the past 4 years. Did my first tri this weekend and fell in love again with bike racing. I want to do the RAAM now. (at age 40 with a bad knee, but I don't give a ****)
