Congratulations Betsy!

I rode in the Courage Classic this past weekend. The cycling event raises money for Children's Hospital and travels 157 miles in 3 days over 3 mountain passes. Day 1 is the toughest: biking 59 miles over Tennessee Pass, Battle Mountain, and then Vail Pass for a total elevation gain of almost 4000 feet.

I first did this ride in 2008 and biked 3-5 days every week April thru July until the event. This year, my training was almost exclusively at CrossFit Littleton. I managed to get a few rides in here and there when the weather cooperated, but I probably logged less than 200 miles over the same 4 month timeframe. Definitely not much time on the bike.

Just wanted to let you know that I successfully completed the 3-day ride and managed to clean each summit without stopping. In fact, this year I completed Day 1 an hour faster than I did in 2008!

Thank you to all the trainers at CrossFit Littleton for getting me ready to ride in the Courage Classic. I'm so happy I found CFL as the workouts are much more fun and rewarding than spending hours and hours on my road bike!
