Santa Barbara to Marina Del Rey 89 miles. Unfortunately Andy and I called it quits after 25 miles into the ride. We were both in a tremendous amount of pain to start the day, dealing with blisters on our stumps and many other aches and pains all over. At breakfast we contemplated not riding at all but decided to give it a try and see how far we could get. Unfortunately we had enough at mile 25 of the ride and road the rest of the ride in the van.
The highlight of today was getting to meet Sarah Reinerstein at dinner. Sarah is an above the knee amputee that was the first above the knee amputee ever to complete an ironman competition. She was also on The Amazing Race television show. She said a few words at dinner and signed a book for all of the riders. It was really cool to finally meet her, as I have heard stories about her and her accomplishments but never had the chance to meet her. Tomorrow is a nice easy ride, we will leave at 10 am and it is only 52 miles. YES!!
