woa

what happened to the day?

rode in with a straight on head wind, didn't bother to put booties on or anything more than one layer over the legs even though it said 20 degrees on the temp and the local news said the wind chill was around 7°F. toes got cool but the Blaze socks kept em warm. maybe should have put the booties on. wasn't a long enough ride to worry about it too much.

still one section of road I hate. it is signed to go down to one lane except everyone keeps driving like it is two, well not everyone. some try and do the middle thing and by the time i turn right off of it everyone is all riled up, me and the drivers. not a good combination.

the tail wind on the way home was wicked fun last night. turning the 53x12 over with a bitching tailwind (20-30mph) blowing right off the water, that's some solid motor pacing conditions. and it marked the first night leaving late and not needing a headlight all the way home. it was pretty awesome...

now if it would just warm up a touch...

the giant felt a bit heavier this morning but with being underdressed going into that wind, well i just pushed hard and steady... hitting the ouch painful range but not the holy shit i'm going to die level. but then that's not really a description of training, it is just a way to characterize how the ride in was...

time to set sail and catch the breeze home...
