Wow, With all the padding being over weight you would think riding a bike wouldn't hurt so much!!! Let me start with I have not been a bike person since I broke my BMX trying to do a jump that I failed. I was 12 year old, that was over 20 years ago.
Me and my wife entered the Urbandale Iowa Amazing Race. Which is a very cool mini version of the popular show. Was a 14 mile race around town with 7 different challenges. Which include, mile on treadmill, bean bag toss, slip and slide, bobbin for hard boil eggs to name a few. It was a small field of 8 teams and me and my wife entered with the goal to finish and not get divorced. The race was totally free. We finished and won some cool stuff such as $85 in gift cards. We were last, were second to last for a few legs, one group blew a tire. This is one of the hardest things we have done together and by far one the hardest thing I have done physically for some time.
Couple things.
1.Toward the end of the Race we had my car at the Library we had at least 4 mile's left we both joked about cheating and taking the car. I was hurting so badly my legs, my butt but I said No, we have cheated with fitness to long.
2. I really want to quit- But that sets a huge bad example for my son
3. Even being in pain as a write this and most likely more later it was worth it.
4. We got a food bill paid for with the $50 Hy Vee Gift card
