Yesterday I got up at 5AM to start around 5:30 or so. Forecast showed rain 45% by 7 and around 85% by 8. I didn't want to ride in the rain so I went back to bed...thought about a quick 25 miles, but fell asleep. I finally got up around 7:30AM and the forecast drastically changed to 0 to 10% chance of rain the rest of the day(was already 78ºF with a heat index of 83). Quickly got my gear on, scarfed down a banana, 16Oz of water, and half a slice of Rye and set out. Began to think I wasn't going to be able to do 35 and was figuring on only 25 but I got a second wind and did the whole 35.8. By the time I finished, 119 min(10:10 AM) it was near 88ºF and a heat index of 93 or 94.

Today, I did start early but the heat and humidity still drained me...still managed 36½ miles.
