Voice Post: 2010 PMC Sat Bourne

[ornoth]

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

Okay, I'm not sure what time it is now, but I got into Bourne's Mass Maritime Academy at 12:50 -- ten minutes of one -- which may very well be a course record for me. So despite the fact that I've done 202 miles in the past two days, I think I've done really well.

The legs are holding up. I just came from my massage appointment, where I was fortunate enough to have a pair of extremely skilled MTs working on me, and they worked almost exclusively on my legs. So hopefully now I'm in recovery mode and will be able to continue to plod on the final 70 or 80 miles up to Provincetown.

It is a perfectly gorgeous day here today, and I'm going to enjoy spending the afternoon here, with the next item of business being food and rest.

How can I summarize the day? Rode with a bunch of my friends. As I mentioned, it was very cool this morning -- painfully so, shivering for the first 10 miles or so of the ride. But eventually the sun came out. It's kind of partly cloudy, just a beautiful day, nice breeze here on the water now that we've finally reached the ocean, having starting in New York state.

So... pretty happy overall, having a really good time, hanging out with a few friends, and so far I'm sorry that the voice poisting system was dysfunctional for most of the morning, but hopefully it'll hold out for tomorrow.

I will probably have one more voice post update this evening, where I'll let you know how things are going, around suppertime. But right now everything is going a-okay. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend, and so far this year's PMC is turning out to be one of the best.

So that's the story from here, and I hope everyone else is having a good weekend. And obviously thank you so much for your donations and your interest and your support, because I couldn't do it-- any of this event, at all -- without your contributions. So thank you, and I'll talk to you later!
