I have been training for an upcoming Duathlon and I have been timing myself (tracking in a spreadsheet)on a loop just over 4 miles in my neighborhood. I also noted the conditions with wind speed and direction. I thought for sure that winds at my back up most of the climbs would give me a better overall time....not true. My best times are always on calm days.
