Voice Post: 2011 PMC Sat 10am: Lakeville

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

Hey, we're in Lakeville and it's only 10:34. 82.26 miles in, and I really actually can't believe that beause my legs are still strong. I'm averaging 18.5 mph, and although my legs are burning, I seem to be reaching every rest stop before I anticipate it, so it's not this game of like "When's the next rest stop?" Feeling really strong. It feels like the whole route is shorter in every way than I remember. Doing really well, again gonna do the same thing: a really quick in and out, just grab some ice, maybe a little stretching, and keep going. The sun has really broken through the clouds -- high thin clouds a little bit -- but it's really warm out now. It's above 80, so when you stop it's pretty moist. Otherwise having a great ride, the only thing I wish was that Jay was here, but he's a good 20 minutes behind me at least. Things are going well, and I guess I'll catch up with him at Mass Maritime. Look for me again very shortly; I'll have a message from Wareham which will be the 100 mile point, which apparently is about 15 miles from here. That's it from Lakeville.
