a cramp on both your houses

Been a while, I know.

While suffering through another Thursday night offering, I finally experienced something I never had before. Something that I had heard of but never had the, uh how should I say, good fortune to not experience. Cramps. I have had the stomach cramp, I may have invented them. This was a muscular cramp that started in my left calve. I had to come off the front of our group (and dammit I was feeling good) and figure out what the hell was going on. As soon as the left leg felt ok the right calve acted up. I was able to hang in there until the top of the second to last hill when BOOM my left calve felt like it exploded. 10 times worse than before. It was enough for me to quit the ride and hobble home. It seems maybe I went to hard on one of the previous climbs and that may have led to the cramping. I hope I don't get visited by these nasty suckers again. I now understand the severity of them.
