Today's Ride

Day - 4 - the hardest day.

Today was nearly impossible for me. I hadn't trained before the ride due to my work on thesis & recital. Overall, it was a hard day - perhaps harder than the climb to Jerusalem (which we've done for the past two years on this ride). We ascended Mt. Turan, an incredible off-road climb at a very steep angle. It was after this climb that I had achieved my goals. All of the stress and all of the hard work during this academic year had come to fruition. I had conquered the mountain and I was on cloud-9.

Tomorrow we climb up to Congregation Or Chadash in Haifa for our final ceremony. We are very excited and can't wait to come home and show you all of our photos.

Thanks, (with a sore tushi)
