Entering the food chain

This photo is real. The kayak is 3.8 meters long. You do the math!

Forgive me Lord for I have bonked!



I didn’t bonk during a race. I didn’t bonk on the 4.5 hour cross bike ride with Careyluk’s on Sunday. I didn’t bonk last night on a thoroughly enjoyable ride under the redwoods by myself. No tales of having to bum quarters off of UCSC students in order to by coke at the vending machine on campus so I could make it home (this really happened!). Nope, I bonked out of my mind while sitting at my desk at work! I didn’t recognize what was happening at first. I got very crabby and snappy even more than my normal curmudgeonly self. I started to wonder if I was getting sick because I was feeling flu like expect for the hunger that was rising in me. Lunch finally rolled around and mouth full by mouth full I slowly revived myself. I’ve been riding an awful lot recently and even though I had a little bigger breakfast than normal, I guess it wasn’t enough!
