I just wanted to take a quick second and ask all of my friends and family to keep my dear friend Tom in your thoughts over the next several days. Tom is racing in Race Across America which started today!
For those of you who don't know it is a a bike race from Oceanside, CA to Annapolis MD. Tom's team (Team Type 1) will be competing in the 8 man division of the race - 3,020 miles total and 100,000 feet of climbing! TT1 has won the race 2 out of the last 4 years and are looking to gain the title back this year, as well as break the race record. To do so, they will need to finish in under 5 days, 9 hours and 43 minutes. They will bike 24 hours a day to get it done and you have to remember, this is an 8 man team of Type 1 diabetics.
We, of course, are so proud of Tom; and he is a true inspiration to everyone who knows him. Colleen will be meeting her husband in Maryland to watch him cross the finish line next week. We are so excited for Tom & Colleen, and we hope you send good thoughts their way over the next several days!
Good Luck to Tom and the TT1 Team!!!! We know you will all do fabulous!!!!! You can keep up with the progress on Colleen's blog.
