Cold-ish and quite wet. The rain was coming down lightly, but headwinds were very stiff. I told myself that it doesn't matter if I get wet, as long as I stay warm, and I did stay warm. I didn't even get that wet. Achieving a (merely) low average speed was possible by using a lot of effort. Without that effort, I would have achieved an astonishingly low average speed.
