Hi Friends,I have been one of two selected to participate in a series for Discovery HD Theater that will have me and a partner training with the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team in Spain and cycling stages of the Tour De France! This will without question be an incredible challenge, but one I am excited to take part in.
The purpose of this diary is to track my experiences training with the Discovery Channel Team and my new training partner and teammate Joe Praino.
The selection process went by very quickly. All I did was submit my 3 minute video detailing why I should be selected and showing my enthusiasm for the sport of cycling. Somehow the production team at the Discovery Channel found my video among thousands and selected me.
This experience for me will be like playing in the Super Bowl for my favorite team. My excitement after being selected quickly went to sheer terror as the Tour De France is the toughest test of endurance in the world. Imagine climbing Mt. Everest after running a marathon. (You get the picture)
My partner is the more experienced rider between the two of us. I am certain I was selected to be the novice/rookie on the team. I only got serious about the sport a few years ago. This should all make for great TV.
In my next entry I will talk about the first day of filming which included my bike ride into work and a look into my home life.
Adam
