I still had 15 miles left including a big climb and that was very odd with a sore/numb hamstring.
My wife just got back from the maiden voyage on her vintage Trek 620 that I've been rebuilding (yay!) and had a paper wasp stick in her hair then crawl out onto her sunglasses.....
Tell her to HTFU and let you wear spandex
My story comes from when I was descending at 30 mph and a bee got stuck between my sunglasses and my eyebrow which are notoriously Vulcan like. Stung me right below the eyebrow and the area got swollen like crazy. Had to do a hard climb with one eye of vision and the other hurting like a mofo and streaming tears.
