“When you win, nothing hurts.”
i think Joe Namath said that.
which explains everything.
i hurt all fucking over.
i hurt in the way taking a jackhammer to every joint in my body would hurt.
i hurt in the way that even the THOUGHT of doing a yoga pose sends a shock of pain through my acidic body…
Namath wasn’t a mountain endurance athlete.
ilg sez; “When you win, EVERYTHING HURTS…
and it hurts in the very HIGHEST, BLESSED, and INWARDLY SACRED WAYS
imaginable!!!”
WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE FREAKIN’ KICKED ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you Ananda, for the splendid Race Reporting…
i bow to my Team Mountain Yogi Teammates…
i bow to my treasured WF Sangha, upon whose spiritual strength, i flew up and down that Sacred Mountain…
i will update you, Oh Noble DL Reader soon…
right now, i and Ananda still have some saturation to do
among the ruby rocked crash of Mother Earth and Father Sky as the final molecules of lactic acid ooze from my cells…
