ornoth | Voice Post: 2008 PMC: Wareham water stop

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

Okay ladies and gentleman. We are in Wareham, which is a 101 and one half miles into the ride. With about 8 or 9 miles left to go, so the end is within sight. Although I've definitely lost all my strength in my legs. I'm crawling along and pretty much everything hurts: feet, neck, knees, arms, just about everything, but the end is in sight. I'll limp in and hopefully use up what little energy I have left after cooling off a bit. It's still really hot and really sunny and down here towards the Cape we start getting into cranberry bogs, which means all the tree cover is gone that we had earlier in the ride. So I'm gonna water myself down pretty good and try and cool my core body temperature, get my heart rate down a little bit. And then go through Onset. And this is kind of part of the more scenic part of day one, because we're just getting to the to the actual coast by Buzzard's Bay and Mass Maritime Academy, where I hope to report to you in probably about an hour. That's it, I'll talk to you soon!
