By the Number


It is Monday and the Inaugural Pan Hope Ride is history. The emotional high continues. I will run on adrenaline today as I go back to work. I live in the world of data and statistics; so lets look at a few. The Pan Ohio Hope Ride took me along 282.3 miles of roads and trails in four days during 20:31:28 hours. I burned 9880 calories while averaging about 13.5 MPH. During the past four days I consumed some 15 bottles of Gatorade, 12 bottles of water, 8 bananas, 4 power bars, 4 bags of energy beans and two servings of ice cream. All to raise about $3300.00 for the American Cancer Society Hope Houses. No matter how I present the numbers, all personal "records"; I could not possibly capture the magnitude of the personal achievement.
