Living in Minnesota for almost 20 years (after moving from Shanghai, China during my college), I met many people with tenacious characters. One of many evidence is at a glance of last Sat.'s annual winter triathlon, 21st Pole Pedal Pant winter triathlon (xc ski, bike, run) held at Elm Creek Park Reserve in Minnesota (3/13/2010). If RAAM has its fame of being the toughest bike race in the world, the 2010 version of the Pole Pedal Pant winter triathlon is the toughest winter triathlon in its 21 years of history. As one once said, it is not about a race, it is about tenacity, a focused mission, and preparation. I learned a lot from those who participated in this year's winter triathlon race (http://www.youtube.com/user/neil55008#p/a/u/0/zo23Q9905W0 and www.rainbowresort.com/ppp )(Picture: 2009 American Birkebiner xc ski champion Matt Liebsch on his bike segment of the 2010 Pole Pedal Pant winter triathlon race, 3/13/2010)
2010 RAAM preparation is going into the stage of 80+ days-to-start. Training in all aspects has become a norm. More testing has showed that my power outage/HR zones are on course.
Thanks for your continous support and encouragement by showing me your tenacity, passion, and vision.
