Today I Yacked…

Yea, that’s egg down there. Today I yacked, and it felt great. Its been a long time since I did something with enough ferocity to work up my stomach into a good healthy vomit. I started mountain biking with my brother last summer. He invites me out for a brutal 11mile beat down as often as possible. I am out of shape, each time we go I get a little bit stronger but a lot more aware of how underutilized my muscular system is. I don’t work out very hard at all, so I am not accustom to planning for such an afternoon of fatigue. I didn’t eat any breakfast. When I got to my brothers he whipped me up some ham, a bagel, and three eggs… sunny side up. I ate it all, thinking I would need the protein to make it through. At about the 6 mile mark, my body violently rejected the protein. After I got it out, I felt great. We went on to finish the last 5 miles in record time… okay we finished anyways. But I did feel a lot better. This whole pushing yourself thing is really worth something. Normally if I have an upset stomach, I take a nap… maybe I need to go running until I vomit and then get on with life, hooraaa. Isn’t that what the marines scream when they do 500 push ups and jump through a wall of barbed wire. Ya, I felt that cool.

Yeah, if you don’t ride til you yak, you’re not riding hard enough. I can only claim to have achieved this status of coolness twice. Once in 2000 at Ceaser Creek State Park (kick butt place) in OH and once in 2002 at Pontiac Lake Recreation Area in MI. Shane, I hope we can ride together this summer.
