ornoth | Voice Post: 2008 PMC: Dighton lunch stop

The following is a transcription of a phone post that originally appeared in my main journal, here.

It's now 10:20 which puts me a little bit a head of schedule but I think I'm going to lose that time because I'm gonna rest a little bit here. The hills continue, and I kinda hit the wall at about 55 miles. I'm noticeably slower on hills (on up hills), but otherwise doing pretty well. Didn't rest as much at Franklin as I said I would, and probably paid a little bit for it. Legs really need a break right now. One knee is acting up a little bit, my trapezius is acting up a little bit. Nothing unusual, but it's typical for this part of the ride. We're 70 miles in, so we've got about 40 miles left. I'll be taking it a little bit easier from here on out, but still want to try and stay ahead of the crowd. There's a couple times where I've been pretty much biking on my own, because I'm far enough ahead. But there's plenty of people here at the lunch stop, so I'm gonna try and push ahead. But first I'm gonna take about 15 minutes and do some stretching and massage. That's it, and I'll talk to you from the next stop in probably about an hour.
