Drink it up, this one's for you....it's been a lovely cruise.....

It's Saturday evening and I am putting the final touches on my Sardinia blog. Today I have had some time to reflect on the trip. I had several goals for my Sardinia adventure. Goal number 1: Come back in one piece - accomplished! Goal 2: Have fun - accomplished! Goal 3: Do well in the race - accomplished! Goal 4: See Sardinia and experience the culture - accomplished!

When I put in my application for the Giro of Sardinia way back in August 2010, I really had no idea what it was going to be like. I intuitively expected it to be physically challenging. Having completed the Giro I can say categorically that I did not underestimate the challenge. I trained hard and my training paid off. What a fantastic experience it was. What a fantastic event! It was a thrill being in the Giro, lining up with so many fine athletes. Would I do it again? I think that question will be discussed at a later date. My racing calendar if quite full for the remainder of 2011.

That's a wrap. Once again I want to that all my supporters, friends and family for the encouragement and yes, the cheering. Finally, thanks to Dana. Without her support I could not have pulled this off.

Until the next adventure, keep on "livin' your dreams", wherever that takes you.....
