 Quarter #5 of 2nd Q.
Started much later than I had intended to, was 90 degrees. Felt like turning back around the 10 mile mark, but I kept going. Took a 15 minute break at the park, then headed back. Enjoyed a tailwind most of the way back, but my left leg nearly cramped-up at mile 23. Took a break and ate a payday bar, energy gel, and drank lots of Gatorade. Seemed to help, no more cramping symptoms. Was 96 upon returning to my apartment at just after 9 am. I still have a long way to go to return to longer distance riding.
