Yesterday had strong gusty winds on my commute. Rain and wind in the back going to work had me flying. But I had to fight the same strong winds on the return leg that completely drained me. I was on autopilot and just tried to keep a steady cadence shifting down and down and down as needed. Luckily it was a sunny afternoon and boy was I glad when I finally got home. Usually it takes me less than an hour to cover the distance, but this time it took me a little over an hour and a half.
