Greetings Jerry R. You are something. With amazing body power, but cursed with severe injuries that would force practically anyone into retirement. Yet you are still doing everything possible to set records. Inspiring!

Thanks, but you are my inspiration. It isn't easy, but if it were, everyone would be doing it. Still doing it at 82 is pure badass!

I hope it clears up. Try to stay hydrated.

Thanks for the good advise Jerry. Did that and came good. I think the problem was a red hot pizza on the trip.
