Default Re: RTL: Suffering any after-effects?


Oh yeah, the sun burn. My nose got a mild one, and I'm a bit tanner than
before, but happily I put on lots of lotion on Monday of the race but
forgot on Friday (by which point I already had a little color).

Of course, semach the monkey has a different story to tell! He's got
quite an interesting Mohawk burn on his scalp.

As for the mozzies and other insects: they're not a big fan of me. I
have three or four little bites, and they itched a bit for a few days,
but they no longer bother me.

I think I'm grieving!

I've realized the Lobster we were riding was alive!

It came to life initially at the welcome ceremony in Annapolis Royal
and grew and evolved till the end of the awards in Baddeck. It had a
life of it's own and we were all part of it, and it was part of us.
The Lobster challenged us, we all persisted and met it's challenges as
we could individually, as teams, and as a group.

Do you remember the end of the awards when it was all over but everyone
just sat there, not knowing what to do now. Someone had to come back to
the mike to point out that was the end and we can go now.

The Lobster was dead, but we didn't want it to be.

I miss RTL.

It was such an amazing thing. It was competitive and compassionate. It
was unforgiving and kind.

Everyone wants to do it again, even though it may have been one of the
most grueling events many of us have ever attempted.

Physically I've totally recovered, but I'll always be a changed person
having been part of the entity known as RTL 2008.

Thank You RTL.

you mean the <b>award winning</b> burn? i think i need to update my
avitar to show the red wool that is flaking off

as for other after efects? well, i think most of what i'm feeling now
is more to do with enjoying myself a bit much on saturday then sitting
in a van for 2 days solid. still, less than 24 hours to go and i should
be home.
