ornoth | Voice Post: 2008 PMC: Lakeville water stop

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

Okay, we're now in Lakeville, 85 miles into the ride, so we're getting there. The last leg wasn't too bad. It was a little shorter, and I took the time to talk to a couple of people along the way, so it was a kinda pleasant little ride. It's getting damn hot, but still no signs of rain. A little partly cloudy but it is really humid, so if we get rain it's probably gonna be a big thunderstorm. It's now 11:45, which is pretty much right on my schedule, and we've got something like a little more than 25 miles left to go. Feeling pretty good. The next water stop is Wareham, where we will be at 100 miles and that's the most I've done in training; I did that last weekend. Having a pretty good time and talking to a few people, and moving right along. Gonna get my massage; I'm really looking forward to that (heh), as well as a nice cold shower. But so far everything's going fine and enjoying the ride. And very much appreciate the assistance of the people who have sponsored me, whether it's for the first time or repeat sponsors, it means a lot to me and it obviously has contributed to something absolutely huge, as this event starts to rival the Jerry Lewis March of Dimes Telethon in terms of how much money it raises. That's it for now. I'm gonna go refill my water bottle and get the heck out of Dodge. I'll talk to you in about an hour!
