Hairy Hundred. drove out there solo, arrived at 7:40 AM for an 8:00 start, yikes! fortunately not a complicated set-up, just one drop bag at 62 miles, so got everything set. then ran in to peat at the start line and we ended up riding the whole thing together...just two out of shape teammates trying to rip each other's legs off at 14 mph...ha! (tho i should add that Peat has had 2 hip surgeries and i have just been working too much) 20mph winds out of the west that pushed us to the drop bags in 4:08. the next 10ish miles were straight back in to them, on freshy fresh, but we didn't work together because...we need to get back in shape. i thought the headwinds would kill our avg but there was some reprieve with a couple jaunts back in to the hills. i seriously suffered on the last 5 miles, flat pavement headwind trying to hang on, made it, just barely.
overall a super day on the bike, beautiful weather, great confidence boost that my legs are not as dead as i thought.
