Training Ride

I severely underestimated the weather when I headed out Saturday afternoon. Went out in shorts and a long-sleeved jersey, no booties, and ditched my jacket before leaving the driveway.

45 fast, fast downhill miles into raging headwinds (took about 2-3 mph off my average speed). One big climb that absolutely killed my legs, which were shaking by that point.

It took more than an hour to regain feeling in my toes. My fingers were pretty cold too - took a lot of effort to shift by the time I got home.

Definitely bundled up in full gear today - but, as expected, I got too hot.
