Just back from a week's vacation in Ireland, so the 90 degree weather we encountered yesterday upon returning home was a bit of a shock to the system. And it's around today for my first commute back. Fun, fun, fun! The morning 70 degree commute was enough to convince me that a quick wipe down in the bathroom or a few swipes of dedorant weren't going to cut it anymore either. Took a full on shower when I got to the office today.

That said, and as much as I am grumbling about the heat, there was a nice tailwind this AM. That, plus my nicely rested legs (no cycling, just lots of walking and driving in Ireland) made it possible for me to make the 7 mile trek to work in just over 25 minutes. Just about the fastest I've ever done it.

Now it's time to go face the heat. I like biking around DC, but all those cyclists in Dublin seem to have the right idea - living somewhere where the temps aren't quite so high!
