My MS 150 ended as the MS 120
First of all I posted this in training because I would like to thank all of those who gave me encouragement, support, and ideas in my quest to go from couch potato to MS 150 finisher. I participated in the Kansas City MS 150 that went from Lee's Summit to Sedalia Missouri and back. The route was 85 + hilly miles both ways. I made the entire first day my only time off the bike other than rest stops was when I walked halfway up a moster hill midway through the ride. When finished my computer read 88 miles. On the second day I knew that I could not repeat the full route back so I took it easy and made it as far as I could. I made thirty or so and then took the sag back in. In retrospect I did not train enough hills, but I did beat the 50 mile + mental barrier that I was encountering in my training. I am still heavy but in much better shape that I was 3 months ago and next year I will make the full ride. Thanks all.
