Pedaling 25 miles fully rested is no problem, but pedaling 25 miles at your physical limit really is the most challenging.
I remember telling myself that I wasn't going to make it to Springfield the whole first 2 hours. You know, I was ready just to call it quits for today and stay a campsite right in the middle of where I started and where I was supposed to go.
But then I thought, "I've always gotten to my set destination without quitting. Can't break that record now."
So I stopped at Marshfield, ate some lunch, took a nap and then grudgingly headed on my way.
In the end, I was proud of myself that I was able to complete these last 25 miles and make it to Springfield. Even though it took all my mental and physical strength, I'm glad I made it.
