80 Mile Bike Ride: I Got Blown

Blown by the wind. It was windy out. Very windy. 20mph wind straight at us on the entire ride out. Gusty. Heart rate high but not going anywhere. Hideous crosswinds.

I met up with Keith and Dana about 15 miles into the ride. I was demoralized by the wind. I thought I had seen them earlier so I headed back to see what they were up to. If they hadn't been there I would have just coasted home for an easy 30. Luckily they were there and were doing the entire trail.

Got a great workout. Keith found his bench. Dana rode hard. Keith had to relieve himself every ten miles or so. Coming off a week of light workouts, he was holding some water. Too funny.

My body isn't quite down with the long rides yet. Still a lot of pain at the end. Having a team to ride with truly helps, although I always feel like I'm crashing their workouts.
