Rain for the first 3 hours but comfortable temps. Windy, but mostly cross/tail thankfully. Technical difficulties with Garmin. Big hills, but I felt pretty strong.

Biking (The Epic part 2) 11:27:44 [5] 118.7 mi (10.4 mph) +10331ft
ahr:131 max:173
Climbed better than usual and did a good job of using all my gears. Descended with more confidence than usual. Confidence inspiring day. Famous last words around mile 60 of a 150-mile course: "I expected this to be harder". The hills after that weren't harder, but the cumulative effect was pretty strong. That, combined with temps in the mid-80's and 20+ miles straight into a 25 mph headwind made for a pretty rough back half of the course. Finished DFL with Chuck, who made my day by catching up with me at the last CP and giving me company for the last 28 miles.
