Ulman Cancer Fund 100k

I was staggering, incoherent with blindness from low blood pressure, and all I wanted was to keep putting one foot in front of another, but couldn't.  One year ago I tried to run 100 miles to raise money for Relay for Life, in memory of my aunt who died from colon cancer.

Today, to commemorate, I rode in the Ulman Cancer Fund Le Tour de Howard County.  It was a 100k (62 miles) bike ride through the gorgeous farm country of Columbia, MD.  Barns, fields, vineyards, and wide open spaces.  Not a cloud in the sky.

Looking forward to the Half-Ironman distance Kinetic Tri in two weeks, and eventually getting in another attempt at that ultra-marathon.

Run hard.
