Just a crabby commute this morning.
A steady east wind was against me, ruining the downhill section.
I didn't feel energetic, having stayed up too late last night because I took the car yesterday and had too much energy to go to bed at a decent hour.
Heavy trunk bag today. I took a heavy chain lock and a heavy Pyrex container with my lunch.
I got that one light red halfway down the hill that's only green in my direction for about 3 seconds, so I lost my inertia too. (or is it momentum?)
I only averaged 10.7 mph, which is quite slow; I'm usually closer to 13 mph on my gravel bike.
I wonder if I'm not a little slower because the oil in my IGH is thickening up as temperatures drop. I really like the belt drive that goes along with it, but it sure feels slow sometimes...

On the bright side, I'll have a tailwind to push me uphill on the way home and I did get a nice little bit of exercise before work.
