Cycling Diva rode the Tour de Scottsdale on 10/3/10- 70 miles of fabulous hills and heat. It was an unseasonably warm day which made the hills so much more fun. The last ten+ miles of the ride were UPHILL in the ungodly heat. Did I mention the Cycling Diva had two flats? Thank God for teammates...Cycling Diva's good buddy helped her repair the flats.
The best part of the event was Cycling Diva's cheerleaders! Neon pink signs and cowbells greeted her at the 25mile mark. Attitude is a HUGE part of athletic success...Cycling Diva's attitude was VERY poor after flat #2 (bad Diva!). Cycling Diva was ready to quit until she turned the corner and saw her cheerleaders a 2nd time!! Who doesn't love cow bell? :)
On the course Cycling Diva saw a couple of cyclists passed out or puking d/t heat exhaustion! The event had GREAT medical support and awesome sag stops.
Moral of the story...attitude is everything!!!!
