March 14, 2015: I had the opportunity to go to a special ADA Tour de Cure event. Chris Carmichael was a special speaker. Now at the time I had no idea who Chris Carmichael was — but I read the invite. Wow!!!! This was the guy that coached Lance Armstrong. He continues to coach professionals, so this was definitely something to go to.
Chris gave a great pep talk. He talked about some things to do on the ride (hydrate, be alert).
He shared with us how he got involved with the ADA and why he supports the Tour de Cure. It was so inspirational to hear this from someone that was so well known. He was also riding with everyone, a 100 miles, to show his support of all of the volunteers and riders involved in our Lake Nona Tour de Cure. I was so motivated for my ride on Sunday after this!!
