Thoughts from the Edge

I got my 3hrs in today, but it was a tough 3hrs. To call it a suffer fest would be fairly accurate. It started off bad when I realized I left my ipod at home. I had plenty of time to think about all manner of stuff during that time.


00:02:00-
I really wish I had my ipod.

00:05:00-
I'm feeling really strong, this should be a good ride.

00:10:00-
Hearing nothing but wind is getting old.

00:30:00-
I'm makin' really good time, but I've still got 2 and a half hours to go. Sigh.

00:40:00-
40 minutes to the second stop sign. Yes!

00:45:00-
Wind has started. Crap!

01:00:00-
Answer me this. How can I be getting a headwind in opposite directions?

01:15:00-
This old road is gonna beat me to death. Between the road and the wind I'm ready to smack someone. Wish I had my ipod.

01:20:00-
The wind is picking up. Figures.

01:30:00-
I am only half done.

01:40:00-
I hope that is fog, and not rain.

01:55:00-
F&%KING WIND!

02:00:00-
Only one hour left to go! Wish I had my ipod.

02:05:00-
Time for some Perpetuem.

02:20:00-
My legs are giving out. Fighting this friggin' wind has taken its toll.

02:22:00-
I think may be the only person on the planet right now. Am I in The Matrix?

02:25:00-
I see some people. Fellow riders! I am not alone.

02:30:00-
Aero bars on a mountain bike?!? Bwahahaha. That has to be the most retarded thing I've ever seen.

02:45:00-
I'm feeling a bit better. I think the Perpetuem is kicking in. I actually feel like I can finish this and not lay down on the side of the road.

02:50:00-
I'm almost done. Just. A little. Farther.

03:00:00-
Finished! No thanks to the damn wind. My legs are toast.


I'll write more later, but for now, I've gotta go raid the kitchen, and replace some calories.
