In five days I’ll get on my bike in Blackheath, London, and get off at the Eiffel tower (you know where). It’s been a steep, steep learning curve and a lot of very humbling hard work, but my life as a student rider is about to culminate in graduation to the next phase of my cycling career.
What did being a teacher help me figure out about how to ride an ultra endurance marathon? How are the stress management skills I learned writing my dissertation applicable to my life as an amateur cycling athlete – and vice versa?

Wish me luck on Saturday!

Wow! Just read your “Headspace Challenge” post. That’s quite the goal you’ve set, but I think you’re absolutely right on the mark about how applicable the diss-writing strategy of manageable chunks is to many other aspects of life. Good luck on each on your 35-mile chunks! Sounds like you are indeed prepared to achieve something great!
