Tired legs this morning after my metric century commute yesterday. The weather finally cooled off a little with slightly lower humidity, with a low in the upper 60s, but that's as good as we can expect in NC this time of year.
My metric commute yesterday was more of a challenge than I expected, since I ride a lot of metrics on the weekends. I probably rode at too fast a pace in the morning, but was trying to make up time because I left 15 minutes later than planned. I was completely drenched with sweat when I got to work, despite the lower humidity, and it took me about 2 hours. The temperatures and humidity had moderated by the time of my afternoon commute, but my legs were tired and I battled a headwind almost all the way home. Made it home in 1:55 but the afternoon route was a little shorter and my pace a little slower. I was whupped when I got home, but my darling wife had a dinner plate prepared for me, and I felt great after eating and drinking a beer. Stats: 62.1 miles in 3:55 hours.
