Tired

80K. Speeds of 32-38 kph for at least 2/3 of the ride trying to make up for lost time on someone's bad flat early in the ride (it sent them home, in fact - tire was shot). Calf still hurting (even with pre-ride Advil). Now hands are hurting (where the hell are my new handlebars????). Sweaty and gross. Now showered at least. Meal post-ride: 2 scoops of soy protein powder in water (perhaps I should invite friends over next time I have that feast). Time for bed. Thinking about phoning the place someone recommended for ART tomorrow. Sigh. It's come to that. I'm going to put my already sore body through more pain. What am I thinking?
