Two pulled calf muscles and all my teeth

Today I met, Torcher and Curly, up in part of the Bridgewater Mt Bike trails of NJ; despite having pulled both my calf muscles toward the begining. I kept going, downed some goo and slugged a bunch of water. I was amped and determined. I think most of the pull is due to the fact I probably don't drink enough h2o in the first place. The 9 am ride started at 30 degrees and the trail conditions were just right for riding the terrain. Rock, leaves and roots. Although, I couldn't push it as hard as my mind wanted too. I did manage to stay the course and keep up with rest of the bikers for the whole ride. TRT 2:45. Last time I stuck on for 1:30, and the time before that about an hour when i was almost passing out after taking a piss. Mind you there are 2-5 minute breaks between each run and the runs are either furiously paced up whindy tracks or fast pace downhill runs. The challagening part of being last, and with in shape riders, is I usually have the least rest but the guys are curtious and responsible die-hards who are in the best condition, and will not hesitate to go back looking for you if you are taking too long to catch-up. These riders have great tales to tell. From pits in the ground they look at and say "yeah, that sink-hole cracked my rib a couple weeks ago so I am taking it easy". I think leg shin gaurds are due for me once i invest in clipless system for my feet because I've certainly been falling a little and I know once I get ballsier again, i'll be glad to still have knee-caps that work and don't crink when I walk.

In other exciting news, I'm still slugging it out in the big agency life and I've posted show number for the DJ spork presents podcast. So download the follow-up cast Jersey's Best Dancers II which is more rockin'. Funny, just checked some more comments and one of the bands, i played and knew very well were wondering who the mysterious dj was, t.cynlinder figured it out. So that is like three comments. whoop-whoop.
