More later. Tired.

My average speed was the highest it's been on this ride, which is odd. I focused on cadence the whole time and my average was 79, higher than on any previous ride. We made excellent time in the early morning and had many miles behind us before it started to get HOT. I started to feel the heat and get tired at miles 78. That was my breaking point on this ride and where my self monitoring became the spot light in my mind.

The heat sucked, but the riders clustered together and we watched each other the whole last half. On no other ride did I feel like we looked out for each other in quite the same way. To the rider who puked from too much sugar intake, we had our eyes on you the whole time. Nice finish, but damn!
