I think it has not been used in this blog before. By any chance, can a phrase “burning a match” in this context come froma a recently released book from a certain ex-doper?

And now you've ellicited sympathy pains from it again. Good job. :-) My left knee (mine that has no cartiledge remaining from year round sports during formative years and other stupid things) started aching as I read the Leadville report.

That is rough, but so is the general idea of doing a Super Hard 100 miler then following it up with 6 days of sweet but serious riding. Why I think it's as bone headed as some of Dicky's exploits. I think "I'm Fine" in the Husband's Dictionary of Wife Speak is defined "Shut the f up and don't ask stupid questions when it's obvious I'm not fine. If you can't bring me flowers and chocolate right now just give me a hug and don't pester me." Additionally you may tack on "This is your fault...." Damn Fatty.

Now I understand the "Epic" part in the name of the race... Epic pain and suffering. And, to your statement regarding your writing - a high art indeed - worthy of Blake himself.

Didn't IT Guy lose all his food out of his? And now The Hammer? My legs ache reading this story. I bow down to your combined awesomeness. I also really, really, really hope for a Hammer version. I enjoy her one and done take along with the multipart stories. She also makes me feel so much better about my suffering. I’m stating to think Bento Boxes are no good.

Fatty, I don't believe I've ever seen anything quite like that! Most volunteers I know have seen almost everything during a major race of Epic proportions. That must have been one truly spectacular example of "scarfing". Glad you made it through the first day. You & The Hammer are amazing. Thank you for this blog. I love it. “I ate most of the orange wedges they had cut up, going through them so quickly and messily that the girl across the table had to walk away.”

I concur. And Troll hunting as well, good shooting Fatty! Oh man I had no idea you guys suffered so much, no wonder it has been so long to be able to talk about it. The ride must have been traumatic! Your writing is truly dramatic. “I’m pretty sure this can qualify as literature.” I concur.
