ow.

ouch.

Oh man, I raced in the Coosa River Challenge this weekend and I am sore. There’s a muscle in my calf I had no idea existed until now. I really need to get out more often.

Nonetheless, I feel great. It was a fun event and I ended up shaving twenty minutes off of my 2007 time, from 5:06:00 to 4:47:57. If you live in the area, you should do this race! It involves a 3-5 mile run, 12-15 miles of mountain biking, and a 7-mile paddle through occasional whitewater. Plus, there are challenges along the way like rappelling, archery and (gasp) math. Next year I’m gonna wear an Elvis costume.
