Ill just leave the last couple sentences!
why do I race? because I
can try anything I dream of and if Im going to teach my daughter to overcome any health problem or complications/problems she was born with and make the best of it, then I owe it to her and myself to overcome my own fears.
Luckily I read it before it got chopped. Now I'm an even bigger fan.
My story? A common American tale. 3 yrs ago I set a goal to quit smoking. 2 yrs ago I set a goal to lose the weight I picked up from not smoking and from driving a desk all day, which included commuting by bicycle. 1 yr ago set a goal to ride a century, and rode 4 of them. This yr set a goal to race by June 1st. Without goals, I'd just walk away from it.
