Conquered.

Recently, or as of the past year or so, I've adopted a sort of... "DO IT!" mentality. Where in many cases I'd just shun an idea away on the thoughts of it being just too much of a schlep, or with regards to my procrastination, I have been forcing myself to do things for the hell of it. It spured me into trying new things, like longboarding, and actually getting around to attempting things that have interested me for years, such as photography. In many ways these experiences turn out great, and some of them bad - atleast then you have experienced the sour.

Now, I have never traversed more then a couple of km's on a bike, also, the last time I actually rode a bike was about 6 years ago. Today, I took part in the cc350; a fundraiser targeted at installing solar panels on top of my school. The aim was to have teams of 5 and complete 350 laps around a 400m track collectively. So that equals out to 70 laps per person, or 28 km's each. Unfortunately not all the members could show up immediately, and one at all, so it was up to me and another Red Barn boy to keep up with the crowd.

At the end of the day, I completed more laps then I thought was possible for me - not knowing how easy 28 km's actually was. Our team finished a total of 312 laps, second to a team who completed the 350 laps - the supercharged, superhuman, Vikes on Dikes. I totalled 110 laps throughout the day, which allots to 44 km's. A crazy experience for myself. My legs are not feeling it, but that's not to say they won't feel it tomorrow.

On another note, today was also the first time I succesfully got a proper panned image, as you can see. Also, "today," in this context, is actually yesterday, as it is already 01:06 am... I'm too scared to sleep and let the lactic acid go rampant on my legs.
Today was definitely a sweet experience, as opposed to sour.

Word of the day: Sizzle.
