 Sucker Punch Update
-a double commute today;
Although this day is a potential triple commute day. I'm not feeling up to the third round. I continue to be working off the residuals of some sort of virus or bacteria.
  • 64 "C4" days
  • commuter miles YTD: 1244.2+/-
    Total work commutes YTD through this ride:
  • 70 round trip work commutes (includes double round trip days);

    That punch Saturday from Tooley seems to have brought on a soreness when I swallow. Perhaps the old man dislodged some bacteria harboring in the folds of my tonsils? Whatever! Tooley's punch at the time of the incident was only moderately stunning (more a surprising sucker punch). I thought the punch came off somewhat of an indirect connection. Perhaps I was saved from a more direct hit due to my profuse sweating from hauling the tree limbs. But here I am with a black and blue mark on my neck along with some residual soreness... In retrospect the 47 mile bike ride I did Saturday morning may have taken the edge of my reaction time in the attempt to duck the punch.

    Another especially amusing recall of the incident was Tooley commenting about me riding the recumbent bikes. He was saying something along the line about "how rediculous I look with my crotch in the air" pedaling down the road, and something about a lack of decency wearing bike shorts. There seemed a definite preoccupation with my looks. Perhaps a "Sandusky(ish)" coach-like perspective??...
