As I mentioned in there the wind was whipping around and about 25% into my ride I could feel my legs burning a bit. I was horribly sorry that I didn't top off my air as that would have helped a tad. However I pushed on and to punish myself for being a ****** and too stupid to fill my tires I went just a bit further then I normally do and pushed myself harder then I would have. On the way back I actually thought I felt a small cramp in my thigh but it went away with a jedi mind trick.

I swear I could FEEL my tires being under inflated, is this possible?
Depending on the bike, sure. I ride at psi 110 on my 32 cm commuting tires, and if the pressure is lower than that, I work harder.
