Appropriately titled, "Within reach" is a defining moment in our lives. The top photo is a great view looking down in the valley. Way, way out in the distance, off to the top right of the lake is Transition 2 (bike-to-run). So, we have been up since 1:00am, swam 2.6 miles in cold glacier water and rode 112 miles (within a possible headwind) and hit T2 just so we can run 27 miles. Heading into Girwood is within reach because that is mile 14 of the run. We start the climb at mile 20 and head up the mountain for a 7-mile, 4000-feet elevation gain.
The bottom photo is the final mile to the finish... definitely within reach. From the top photo where we so far away to now at the top of the mountain is amazing in and of itself, especially since we have traveled more than 114 miles. Wild to think and exciting to think about... within reach in 13 weeks.
