ornoth | Voice Post: 2014 PMC Day 1: Franklin

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

Okay, I’m at Lakeville [error: actually Franklin]. I synced up with Jay to get my fender and arm warmers, which is good because it started raining about half an hour ago in earnest. It’s steady; it’s not real heavy, but I’m fully soaked. Still gonna forego the rain jacket because it’s warm enough to just deal with it anyway, and it really holds the sweat in. 42 miles in, still got another 70 miles to go. Not feeling bad, doing okay, still in the middle of the group, and will probably stay that way at least until lunch. Generally morale is positive despite the rain, but it’s gonna be a messy, slick ride in. Doing okay, making okay time, but not pushing it. We’ll see how it goes from here, but generally happy.
