 Short Climbing Day
Legs were tired and wind was blowing hard out of the west. Wanted to do a little climbing and coasting as despite the beautiful weather really couldn’t motivate myself to get out and ride. Finally convinced myself to at least get on the bike and hoped that once I got started I might feel better. Started out well on the steep half of the climb up Old Odessa but soon lost focus and phoned in the second half. Kept a decent cadence up but didn’t put too much power to the pedals. Spun up the second climb up to Seymourville then went into coast mode. Got all the climbing out of the way in the first eight miles and toured the remaining miles at a low intensity. Wind was mostly a crosswind today and wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be when I headed out. Turned out to be an okay ride but felt weak over most of the miles.
