3/4 of the way: Day1: 125 KM - Day2: 165 & Day3: 200 KM

This is it! We did it: day 2 a "Century" ( 165 KM = 100 miles) and today 200 KM!!! Yesterday was loaded with emotion; one of us got injured...to take the time to get better and take of a bad knew. Apparently this is when all the small things are coming out...But what a feeling to get to the finish line and have all the other cyclist cheering for us.
This morning the famous day: 200KM I have been dreaming about with more anxiety. We did it! It was challenging at time as the wind was still blowing in our face and sometime gusting, but we did it! Looking back at today and thinking of those ribbon I have pined to my saddle bag kept me going. In a week my pain will be a souvenir compare the what those women have gone though. This is why I took this challenge and as a bonus I got to meet great people and witness amazing moment that will be with for the rest of my life.
