day9 88km 4:24 stafford
Left the earliest I have all trip 8:40. My watch stopped working last ight as I was trying to reset the day. Got a little lost in eureka and the library didn't open until noon, so I found a mall and got a new phone with my same old phone number. Not everyone's number transferred over, so if you aren't one of the lucky 9, then I don't have your number. Ate to much at a hometown buffet and was burping up stuff for a couple of miles after that. My left achilles tendon started to ache just about an hour before I found a campsite. I think that I might have had my shoes cranked down to tight yesterday, or overuse, orleg length discrepancies, or..... The tops of my ears also are itchy/hurt. I don't know if its a sunburn or the helmet straps/sunglasses rubbing or what. I am getting an awesome cyclist tan. I will try to baby my achilles tomorrow as much as I can, but what can you do?

Dave - ice is the trick for the achilles and rest. Take it easy, see the redwoods and the rhodys down there.

ReplyDeleteCool. We're thinking about you Dave, and saying really nice things about how we're jealous... hope your achilles is feeling better. :)
