T.I. recap in progress, but until then...

Here's a list of what hurts:

• Both feet oddly swollen and retaining fluids, incredibly sore
• Left ankle sore, but don't remember hurting it
• Ugly blister on right heel
• Left knee sore
• Right knee appears to have a baseball implanted inside of it and the skin is ripped off it in about three places
• Both quads have been injected with cement and are fatigued to a degree that is impossible to explain
• Right hip is severely bruised with skin torn off
• Left side of lower back is tight and sore
• Upper back deeply fatigued and sore
• Both triceps - destroyed
• The heels of both hands are deeply bruised from being on the hoods for almost 30 hours of vibrating gravel
• Right wrist sore, but don't remember hurting it
• Wound on left side of forehead, most likely from a helmet rub.
• Several toe nails are sore to the touch, will most likely fall off.
• Stiff neck
• Eyes burn
• Chest hurts when I take a deep breath

That pretty much sums up my physical being at the moment. Oh, and I'm typing this at 1:24 a.m., because my internal clock is so messed up right now that it feels like it's 2:00 p.m. Work should be fun tomorrow.

I wouldn't trade any of it. I've never felt more alive! And, hey I took 2nd place in the 2011 Trans Iowa. I'm gonna ride this wave, cause despite the list above, it feels pretty damn good!

My full re-cap is in progress, coming soon. I hope you like it.
