LOTOJA

Lotoja is a 206 mile bike race from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY. Hence Lo to Ja. What an experience! It was truly amazing from the beginning of training back in May to the end of the race. I was so spent by the end of the race, and had endured so many hours of pain, that when I crossed the finish line and got off my bike I was on the verge of breaking down. I had endured about 156 miles of intense cramping in my legs, something that had never happened to me on any of my training rides. But during and immediately after, I was swearing to myself that I would never do it again. But the memory of the pain has already gone, and I wouldn't mind doing it again to see if I could take an hour of my time.
Thank you to my beautiful wife for riding in the car for 12 hours and keeping me fed and hydrated. She's the best woman in the world. I love her so much it hurts. I'm so grateful for how well she takes care of me, I will always be in debt to her for how lucky she has made me.
