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

Okay, we have arrived in Franklin, the second stop. It's now 7:50, which puts me... 7:50? Puts me about 25 minutes ahead of schedule, so I'm moving right along. I know Jay's 20 minutes behind me, so I probably won't see him until Mass Maritime probably. Just gonna do a little stretching, get some ice and Gatorade here, and get out of here because I want to stay ahead of the pack. But so far a great day. Bike's holding up well; I'm holding up well, although I'm feeling a little crampy. And since I won't be pacelining and drafting other people, I'm gonna be taking it a little bit easier and being a little more conservative for the next couple segments. So I'm gonna nurse it from here on in, but I'm still making good time. Next update from the lunch stop!
