Allegra's Blog: The final part of the ride outside Hoi An was just what I had envisioned in Vietnam...peacefully riding along fields of rice paddies and gardens, greeting locals with waves and “Sin Chao””¦In Hoi An, we had time to stroll the streets and look at their wares of food and silk clothing”¦everyone offering to “tailor” something for us on the spot.

[the4_seasons] Jdrama crossover fic "At the Resting Point": “Can you drink by yourself?” Sota asked with worry in his brown eyes, Takemoto wanted to scoff that of course he was able to hold a bottle but as soon as he extended his arm he realised what the other meant. His limbs felt heavy like lead and what movements seemed like an exaggeration was in fact a fraction of what he intended to do.

[Mudville Gazette] Dawn Patrol: One of them even got back on the bike and finished the ride. At another point 5 vehicles and the bus were separated from the pack by inconsiderate drivers who cut in on the funeral procession.
[Tri Talk Triathlon Podcast] Tri Talk Triathlon Podcast, Episode 62 Transcript and Blog: I have a child who suffers from asthma, and from experience, I know that after a sever asthma attack, he can’t even leave the hospital until he is breathing on his own with 90% oxygen saturation. The fact that these swimmers were coming out of the water at 88% is alarming.
[Mont's Full Fledge Weblog] Race Day Recap: The bus ride from Boston to Hopkinton takes about 35 minutes and somewhere along the way you start to realize how far 26.2 miles is. We are cruising at 55 mph and it takes a 30 minutes + ride to get to the start of a run back to the same location we left. This can be a little intmidating if you focus on it for to long. Good thing the last 5 minutes I had to pee so bad that the woods start look enticing. There is no time to take in Athlete’s village when I first arrived - I need a port a potty stat. There are a few port a potties when you get off the bus, but the lines are daunting so I make my way into Athletes village where there are no lines and port a potties as far as the eye can see. If you think I glorified the visual of port a potties a little to much there, then you have never had to pee “really, really bad” in your life. Any first time runner should know this and not waste time waiting in line by the bus drop - there are plenty of restrooms a couple hundred yards away. Once that is taken care of I take in the scene. Tents, music, coffee, water, bagels, and cold wet grass are everywhere. The experienced runners have wisely brought a mat or something to sit on while waiting for 10am to roll around. Me, I have a red bag and newspaper (fortunately). Both of these suffice, but next time I will have a mat, blanket (it gets cold once you stop moving), cell phone, and camera to take some photos. The next hour and half crawls by. I am afraid to try anything new so I pass on the food, but splurge on one more cup of coffee and a bottle of water while trying to time the last bathroom visit with 25,000 other people plotting the same course. It is weird how the competition among runners is lost in the camraderie of the common cause to finish the race (except for the hundred or so elite individuals) except when it comes to being in line for that last visit to the port a potty. About 9:15 I make my way to a line figuring a 20 minute wait for the restroom. Bad call, the line barely moves and I suddenly think I am waiting for my wife to “get ready”

[Mudville Gazette] Dawn Patrol: The Face of America 2008 Bicycle Ride from Bethesda to Gettysburg was full of such moments. A mix of wounded or ill service members and "regular" riders, it was a collision of roads, a test of wills, and a testament to courage and tenacity.
