ughhh spoke too soon there. Had a big lunch and drank a beer just before I left the office, combined with a 12 MPH headwind made for one of my slowest ever commutes. What took me 1:09 this morning took 1:25 this afternoon. Utterly exhausted. Felt like I was huffing and puffing the entire time, even on downhills. Where I'm usually doing 25+ I was barely at 14 or 15 MPH. Places where I'm usually in the big ring for awhile had me in the small ring pretty much the whole time.

Felt great outside, but yuck, totally wasn't feeling it today. Unfortunately cooler temps and lower humidity this time of year always means winds out of the north, generally, which means headwinds for the afternoon commute.
