Did my 2nd ride since Saturday's 112 miler in Ironman Florida. First time in the 17 years of IMFL they had to cancel the swim. 25/30 mph winds and rip currents shut the beach down. Winds and 46F did not stop the bike. I managed a 18.12mph average for the 112 without stopping but it was hard on my body. Not being trained adequately enough I wound up sitting up for many miles. After 60 miles I could hardly turn my head so it was advantageous to have the eyeglass mirror. Forgot to pop a couple of acetaminophen so shoulders were also in serious pain. Worst marathon time ever followed the biking.

Today's ride was 32 hard miles and legs still smarting even though I added 21 extra easy miles. Tuesday's ride wasn't quite as bad as today's and only 51 miles.
