Following my long ride this past weekend I rolled back into the neighborhood and was greeting with a HUGE SURPRISE!!! Our oldest son, serving in the USMC, was standing at the end of our driveway for a surprise visit. Having drove 7 hours home to spend 36 hours and head back out was such a treat!! I went into full baking mode and loaded him up with goodies for the trip back to his base.
After coaching myself for 22 weeks I am thrilled to say that I am now being fully coached by Vince Matteo for the remaining part of my training for the IMKY on August 28th. Now I am not saying that I could not have continued just as I was (I am very motivated) BUT what I can say is now I can relax a bit and not worry over every detail (I was driving Scott crazy). The changes made so far have been so positive and I am 100% confident in all that Vince says for me to do!!
After our phone call last Wednesday I was left with so many positive thoughts about the work I have already completed and the suffering work he has in front of me. Having my Garmin data reviewed to reevaluating my heart rate zones are all so helpful.
I have hit the jackpot!!

I couldn't imagine what emotions ran through you as you were pulling up on your bike haha. That is special.
Thank you (to your son) for serving our country!
I hope the coaching is what you need! Of all people you are one of the most determined and motivated!!! Listen to him now haha!
YAY for a surprise visit from your son!! And awesome that you are being 100% coached from here on out. That must be a bit of a relief - you don't have to think so much, you just have to DO the workouts!
