I got stung by a wasp yesterday - or bit, whatever, the sucker got me! Lower leg - got me good. No big deal yesterday, but today, after my little bike ride, it's HOT and RED and SWOLLEN and it HURTS!
Yea, sounds like a good excuse to take it easy for the rest of today.
Happy Independence Day everyone - enjoy your parades, bbq's (yes, it is a noun and a verb, Winzy) family, and friends. And if you get some training in, enjoy that too! We took this picture of both my legs - the right one is the freakishly swollen one - amaizing what one little tiny insect can do!

Beer is a recovery aid, yes?
owiieeeeeee..you do know that if you don't shave your legs, we'll have to revoke your triathlete card..sheesh..:-)
yooouch! how that happen?

rockon` and Happy 4th July.
effing wasps! Is it true that it will help if you can pee on it? Maybe you could get someone else to pee on it if you can't?
Those look like the legs of a age grouper not a Clydesdale.
Happy Independence Day, Bigun!
I think you should have worn a pair of stiletto heels for the picture. They make your calves even tighter.
Yeah what Comm's said, they look like a 170 pounders legs.
Hope you had a great 4th, you and Di.
Why don't you try Windex?
I am guessing you didn't kill it afterwards? Did you pull out the stinger?
That's quite a sting! I'm curious about your iron week goals, why so much volume on the swim and run?
I got that accelerade e-mail too but have't responded yet.
Whose legs did you use for this picture? ;)
at least your not allergic like me.
I still believe bbq is a noun.
I HATE bugs that sting. Hope you killed it and all its relatives. Nice quads, BTW :-)
Could be worse....I've had two run ins.
1. Stung right in the middle of my left butt cheek as I as riding.
2. One flew into the vent on my biking helmet and stung me under my helmet, almost crashed on that one.
Hair Pants! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Hey Shelley -
You can collect my card right now!
I contend that if he didn't shave his legs the wasp couldn't have stung him!
I had a wasp incident a couple of weeks ago while I was riding. It hit my new Tifosi sun glasses and came to rest on the inside of the lens! No stinging - that could have been ugly.
