A sixpack of pain

[andygates]

If you have that exercise thing going on, you probably know where your abs should be and maybe even prod your belly in a "you're in there, I can feel you but it's like mining hairy jelly to do so" way.

Two days after that street luge, I have an amazing all-body DOMS ache, LRP-shock par excellence, and I can feel them all.  Rectus and I swear transversus abdominis, obliques, intercostals, even my damned serratus are eminently present.  Every last man Jack of them still. Bloody. Hurts.

Incidentally, skean, luge is another double-pareto gig.  80% of the time setting up, 20% going down; 80% of the runs suck, 20% are awesome.  The definition of "suck" is the only variable: for the skilled lugers, "suck" was "over a minute"; for the newbies "suck" was "in the ditch again".

Life is double pareto (anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something). 80% of the time we work to have 20% of the time for ourselves. 80% of the time we have for ourselves we do chores to have fun 20% of the time.

At least in street luge, and indeed surfing where I believe this originated, the 20% is of a higher amplitude.

Wise are you.

Surfing with lightsabers. That would rock.

Bagged Germany the other day. Well, not really, but its the first time I've cycled to another country and back. Crossed the border an everything.

Border bagging - I haven't done that on a bike. Starting in Switzerland gives you an advantage though! Well done :)

Pain?

Pain is riding up a steep hill on a 70" geared fixed with a broken finger.

Current music: David Bowie's Golden Years in A Knight's Tale (that film so rocks).

That's masochism, rb, you know you live for it :p

Truly you are the harasser of Parassa! We ride in the slipstream of your turbulence!

Pain is temporary. Glory lives forever. You dig scars.
