So glad I went yesterday! It is windy, windy, windy, today and raining off and on. conditions are supposed to detoriate throughout the day.
We just went down to the start to get my T-Shirt and guess what? One of the women taking part in the Tour today had crashed!
Her DH was in front of her on his bike and missed a turn; he turned real fast, she tried to follow, but with the wet roads, she lost traction and crashed into him. he was ok but she was hurt. We stopped to help--my DH has training as a Wilderness First Responder. We stayed until the ambulance came. The woman was 59 years old and they were only 6 miles into their 60 mile option route. My DH says he thinks she broke her hip! :sick:
The route actually runs right in front of our house, so I'm sitting here now, sipping on coffee, and watching all the cyclists ride by in the wind and rain.

It can be quite a dangerous sport, especially when lots of people are involved. I hope she is okay. Congrats to you again. I think we are going to do about 50 today.0 -

Well, my legs were a little stiff when I first woke up but have felt better as the day goes on. I did some stretching this morning and that seems to have really helped. I'm not tired too badly but boy, oh boy, am I still hungry!!!!! I could eat and eat and eat! Of course, I'm back on my strict MFP regime, too, so am trying to pick and choose good filling stuff without a lot of calories.
No more Chinese for me for a bit!

Gerry, "the devil pup" is fine and really feeling her puppyhood! Boy, what a handful. Plays non-stop for about an hour then is out like a light for a few, then play, then sleep, somewhere in between she eats and poops! Just like having a "real" kid!0 -
You are Amazing!0

Congrats, Shore. Glad you did it and did it safely. After my Half-Ironman (which took me 7+ hours), I didn't stop being hungry for a week, so get used to that feeling. Loved the pictures; especially the ones with Accomac County landmarks in them. :happy:0

Ironic, isn't it? I wasn't hungry hardly at all the day of the ride but really wanted eggrolls since I knew I could "afford" them. But since, oh my gosh! I'm still hungry!
Oh, and I'm really going to take swim lessons this winter and am thinking of doing a Tri by myself next year--provided my bum shoulder takes the swimming anyway. Will have to see.0 -
