Not sure how to describe this event - a mixture of both pleasure and pain.

Long periods of extreme pain from unbelievable cramps. My muscles were spasming like there were aliens inside them moving around from about 25kms to the end. Getting off didn't help - the only thing to do was to keep moving and keep the legs spinning. I think maybe the three red wines the night before wasn't a good idea, but then again lots of others I spoke to were cramping.

just got back from the physio and seen my xrays. ive got a thoratic scoliosis and a misaligned pelvis!( forgive my spelling tien ) basically, i havn't looked after my back and need to stretch a lot more and do yoga. my muscles are so tense that they've pulled my back out one too many times. ive been ignoring my backpain for years and am now in the early stages of osteo arthritis.ive got three weeks of intensive chiro then a lot more conditioning to strengthen my core and loosen up my hamstrings,back and shoulders.
