Voice Post: 2012 PMC Sunday: Barnstable

[ornoth]

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

Okay, we are in Barnstable and it's something like ten minutes of seven.

I hooked up with Jay, as he had passed me, but I caught up with him on the rollers as he'd stopped to visit one of the medical trucks: nothing major.

It's not really warm, but it's incredibly humid. The water is just pouring off me in streams, which is not typical: I'm not someone who sweats very much. It's just ridiculously humid. The good news is that the sun is still down, or buried behind this fog bank we're in, so no major issues as far as sun exposure goes! Maybe that will change over the course of the day.

We're kind of in the middle of the pack. On Sunday there's no organized start, so people start whenever, so we're in the middle of the pack, but that doesn't matter as much today. It's important on Saturday, so I can get in get an early massage and shower. But on Sunday it's more laid back, and there isn't any real need to get to Provincetown early.

I'm kind of just enjoying the ride. The legs are ultimately pretty good a little weak-achey, but we'll ride into that, and it's supposed to be, after 140 miles! Doing pretty well and just hanging out with Jay, this probably being our last ride together. So I'm just enjoying the ride and the fact that I've broken all expectations as far as fundraising this year, which is a testment to you guys.

That's it, gonna try and get some water and hit the road and see how much more sweat I can generate! The next stop is in Brewster, which'll be maybe an hour, maybe a little more than an hour, which puts us around 8:00 or 8:15.
