Work has been crazy lately, and I went out for my first hilly bike ride in over two weeks this morning. It was a very difficult hill-ride this morning.
I've been recording the TDF every day, and started jokingly thinking about what Phil Ligget and Paul, the commentators for the TDF in the U.S., would say about my effort....
"Now this is not very surprising, Phil. There is the largest rider from the slow American team Humung-ass, dropping off the back."
"That's right, Paul, I do believe that that particular gentleman is in quite a spot of bother."
"Yes I believe that he has cracked, Phil. His face is a quitissential depiction of misery and suffering. Horrible sight, that."
"Ohhhh! What's that, Paul? I thought that he was just choking on his own saliva after trying to take a sip from his water bottle, but that episode looked much more serious."
"I think that I know what was happening there, Phil. He was breathing such a massive volume of air, that a small chunk of his lung tissue was dislodged, and he was obliged expeterate it. I'm quite astonished that he can continue as is. Such a monstrous effort, resulting in such a painfully laggard pace too. Painful to watch, yes?"
"Quite." ;)
