Day 16: Fairbanks



Duncan told me that he was an Olympic cyclist when we had breakfast this morning (did not race for political reason). It is incredible that he can ride the mountain road from Menana to Fairbanks, which took me one day to finish, in less than 3 hours.

I found my Achilles tendon swells up and hurts while I am walking after I finished my breakfast. I guess I have an inflamed Achilles tendon according to the information on the internet. Perhaps I have not warmed up properly, or the height of the seat is not right, or just like I said yesterday I pushed my right leg too hard. Anyway, now I am sure that I have to rest for 3-5 days and see if it will recover after that. I don’t want to injury Achilles tendon like Kobe Bryant did  and have to rest for one year. That would be funny if that really happen.

In recent two week, the only thing I am not satisfied is that I haven’t had any time to read. I bought a kindle for this long journey, but after reading one fourth of a book while I was waiting for transferring and flying, I haven’t had time and energy to read. This is a good opportunity to fulfill my need of reading. I sat on the sofa and read while there was nobody at home this afternoon. But it seems that I was so tired that I slept on my kindle.
