Ever since eating dinner the evening after the Elephant Rock Ride (Sunday), I've been feeling somewhat bloated and having stomach cramps. I assumed Sunday evening that I'd just worn myself out and was suffering from some mild dehydration. But the cramps have stayed around for 48 hours now. They aren't horrible, but I could certainly live without them. I felt better today than yesterday, so that's a good sign.

Due to the cramps, which seem to get worse when I eat, dining has not been that interesting to me. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of writing a book called The Stomach Cramp Diet.

Update: By Friday I was pretty back to normal. My latest theory is that I was actually getting sick on the E-Rock ride itself, and that would explain why I felt so bad by the end.
