I’m humbled and I’ve decided right now, I’m Before 2.0. As I’ve chronicled, not only was the Livestrong Philly ride the hardest I’ve ever done, I did not finish due to a mechanical just about five miles from the end, just as I was able to clear the last psychological barriers to finishing.

I am not closing the door on going back to that course, even as soon as 2011, because I do not like being beaten by a course.

However, if I’m going to take on a course like that successfully, I’ve got to make some major training changes. Despite the fact that I believe honestly that I am in the best shape of my life, it’s not the shape I need to be in for the short, steep, repetitive hills of the Philadelphia course.

So I’m going to work on my weight for the first time in awhile.

This is Before 2.0.
