Well that sums up the week for me. I rode as strong as anyone out there, prepaired well, stayed out of trouble (no crashes)) and fought hard to get back in the game when the demons of the jungle tried to stop me in my tracks.
"This Is La Ruta" I told my self and smiled. Anytime I was on the verge of frustration, if it was being sent the wrong way by a moto while leading day 3, double flatting on day 4 and running 4k. What next? I can take it. Roberto Herras passed me after his personal moto stopped to fix his flatt. "necesita de una motocicleta"
he said. No i don't
Strange to say it I was satisfied by the experience. I did what I came to do. Get over my fear of the race. Have fun while racing. And make it to the finish line! Ride as a team.
What more can I say. It is crazy ass race. Everything you have heard is true. So go check it out, but do not get frustrated, just smile and say the saying......
Check out the cool video on www.cyclingdirt.org It's awesome.
Pura Vida.
