LT 100 Mtn Bike Race Eve

Here we go!  The LT 100 start is only 12 hours away and it is time to check off the list of pre-race requirements...

Miles and Miles of Training - Check
Adjusted to Altitude - Check
Registration Complete - Check
Bike and Gear Ready - Check
Carbo, Calorie, and Sodium Loaded - Check
Physically and Mentally Prepared - Check (well, that may be debatable - ha!)
Spiritually Prepared - CHECK (Thanks to family, friends, and Teammates for your prayers)

I think we are ready!  Are you?

So today was pretty exciting!  Headed up to Leadville early and completed registration, marked the two support krew areas with tarps, and listened in to the pre-race briefing.  And wow, finally met a fellow FCA Endurance Teammate, Joe Stiller.  How exciting!  This is Joe's first LT 100 but he's been up to the Leadville area often and is ready to crank it up.  Joe, if you read this, know that your in my prayers for a great race as we bring Glory to God! Amen!

Before leaving Leadville, we had the now traditional lunch at The Golden Burro.  Back at Vail has been final packing and preparations.  Now we are about to get some grub and then get some sleep before an early start to the day tomorrow.

Here is the line-up at the Support Stations:

Mile 20 & 80 = Jandy, Ken, Jenny, and Bryce
Mile 40 & 60 = Julie, Alec, Brady, Mom, and Dad
FLOATING = Gary, Shelli, and Gary's Sister - Randi (they will be watching from different locations through the day)

So, I'm out of words and thoughts for now...no comments from the peanut gallery!  Ha!  But I'll share my experience in a blog post tomorrow night!  Until then, it is time to pack up the computer and go give it everything tomorrow!

God Be With Us, Bring Us Home Safe, and Give Us the Strength and Courage to Honor and Glorify You In This Endeavor!  Amen!

Saddle Up, Dig Deep, and Ride Hard!
