Meltdowns happen. It's not about how you meltdown, it's how you recover and bounce back. After riding up and down Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and halfway up Millcreek, I began to have serious doubts about whether I would finish the big ride last weekend. The afternoon sun was getting to us, and I wanted to rip off my jersey and lay down in the shade. Luckily @anna.demonster was there to encourage me with her eternal optimism (or talent at hiding her own self doubt and suffering). So I got back on the bike and continued to pedal forward.
