I am already thinking of the 24 to 30 hours of endurance photography I will shoot here in a couple of days.  I also think of why these athletes ride 200 miles of gravel roads.  I think it is much the same for both of us.  Can I do it?  What is the best I can do with what I have in the time given?  I think it kind of relates to live, don’t you?

After seeing the faces of those that finish that appear fresh, I see the immediate tiredness as they move from the finish.  As those that finish with the soulless gaze of someone who has nearly broken but didn’t, I see the resolve that defines the human spirit.  I see the ability of humans to reach inside and find something that they did not think was there. 

Everyone does things for their own reasons. Follow this link to some amazing videos about some profiles of DK riders.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grvMtAh22ic
