So, I made it. Another 104 miles over 12 hours. I was biking harder and faster most the time today, so I guess I ended up needing more rest breaks. Poor trade off, obviously. Towards the end, I ended up in a weird state where it was easier to speed up moderate slopes than it was to speed down them. Either I leveled up in biking, or it was the early stages of heat exhaustion. Not sure, but it was interesting while it lasted.

I'm a big sweaty ball of stiffness now. I've got stiffness overflowing my legs and being exported to my spleen, in violation of several trade agreements. My left Achilles' tendon is thumbing its sword and looking at me like I just killed its gay lover. My knees are only as decoration at the moment, and forwarding request for any further movement to their lawyers. But, hell, 210 miles over 2 days. Let 'em riot.

Things that suck:

• Frail meatbodies
• The sun
• No shade
• Hills
• No shade on hills in the sun

Things that are pretty cool:

• Completing an 8 year old, previously failed goal.

Tomorrow I will write about the trip from a perspective which I don't think any of you will guess.

Yay! Congratulations!

Meatbodies are cowards. They kick you when you're down.
