Not only my butt hurts, but my eyes, hands,
wrists, back...everything but my legs.
They feel okay.
Didja ever notice how your brain filters things that people say to you when you're feeling tired and discouraged and your brain is dehydrated?
For instance, Sweet Baboo pointed out that since I tended to ride a bit on the slow side, I would be out longer, and would need to bring more fluids and food with me.
What I heard: You're slow, and you suck.
He was also giving me helpful suggestions about gearing.

etc.
Tomorrow we leave for Arizona, where I'll see the Grand Canyon for the first time (yes, it's true - I've driven by the turnoff numerous times, but never seen it, but I'd like to. I've heard it's, well, grand.) and then on Sunday we'll race in the Mountain Man triathlon - he in the half iron and I in the Olympic. We both did the sprint last year, and were very impressed with this race. It was well organized and a lot of fun, with great scenery on the course.
It's at 6800 feet above sea level.
I don't know why I keep doing that to myself.
Think I'll go to bed now.
