Coldest and slowest so far. I couldn't stay warm going the Crowders Mountain. I'd climb a hill, sweat, then freeze going down the other side.

I did see a deer right after day break. It was heading toward the road but got scared and high-tailed it back to the woods.

42.5 miles @ 17.3mph


edit: I forgot. Some middle-aged, jackass in a sports car laid on his horn right behind me. He then sped around, got in front of me, and hit his brakes like he was going to stop and do something. Yeah right. I would've hollowed him out and used him as a sleeping bag. The jerk.
