Voice Post: 2008 PMC: Franklin water stop

[ornoth_cycling]

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

Welcome to the Franklin water stop; it's our second stop. It's now 8:35 in the morning and I'm 43 miles into it, which is nearly half -- well not quite halfway, maybe it's a third of the way. Hopefully you can hear me over the music they're pumping here. Things are going real well. Gonna stop for a few extra minutes here because the next leg is one of the longer legs, between here are Dighton, which is the lunch stop. Overall moving right along, still averaging 17 and a half over again the most hilly part of the ride, which probably means I'm gonna hit the wall on the flat part of the ride. But so far so good, having a great time. Just trying to stay ahead of the pack so I can get through the water stops quickly and get to Bourne quickly, so I can ensure that I get my spot in line for a massage. That's it for now, I'll talk to you again in probably a couple hours.
