Lotoja 2015

 He started training on the road in February.  The day
was finally here.  It starts in Logan and goes 
to Jackson, Wyoming.  206 miles.  His goal was to
finish in 10 hours.  He felt great the first 100 miles
but after making a little mistake and forgetting to 
take his food at the first stop in Montpelier 
he got behind on his nutrition.  
 He was still feeling good in Afton, Wyoming and I 
was so happy for him.  Then he got to Alpine and he
looked terrible.  He had crashed, bent his handle bars,
flattened his tire and fractured a rib.  Of course, that
didnt stop him.  He continued on.  
 It was a hot day.  He had trouble with his legs
cramping most of the day.  This is in Snake River
Canyon.  He decided to stop and sit in the river 
to help the cramping.  
 He finished in 10:40 which is awesome! So happy
to be done.
Many of the riders sit in this canal at the end.
It feels awesome and refreshing.  My husband is a stud!
