| Comments: TT from Slidell on a cloudy humid, cool, ATemp:58F? a day after a VERY slow ride at LL. Garmin 840 took 12 miles to acquire sats, started watch 1 mile after start. Went relatively easy on way out (light tailwind), then wind bomb exploded in face and was MUCH stronger headwind on way in, was pretty tired and out of shape. Tried to spin more, maybe 79 rpm average? |

Had to walk around barricades, ponding water on new asphalt made a mess. Near end of ride shifting in smallest gear went to shit. Pretty shitty ride overall. Was not motiviated to ride hard. I did chase a couple coupple up last climb which helped a bit. 800', MDP:73F. VERY humid morning but not as hot (ATemp:73F). Completed drenched jersey again but not percieved as bad as last TT ride (MDP:77F). |

I had off/on stomach issues and definitely breathing issues at start and up 2nd hill (steepest, sustained 8%+). VERY humid most of ride as mostly in fog and the brief light ride rain. ATemp:75F, MDP:77F. Couldn't breath at all right from start as we started immediate ascending rolling hills. Could barely keep up with Steve/Lori at start. Stopped for pie and iced coffee and midway. Stomach did not like all that sugar. Had to descend into a town for urgent Kybo stop. The had to climb out. Made 1st sustained 5-7% climb, but knees got sore. Had to walk part of 2nd 5-8%+ sustained climb. Felt WAY better after that and hammered to Guttenburg. 2450' climbing. I definitely need to lose weight. |

Dropped from front front group, but went out solo at 21-22mph. Formed a paceline relatively quickly, pulled for 1st 3 miles, then rotated to back. Legs felt good until 1st flat at 16 miles. Changed tire, gave up trying to fast but still had good legs until 26 mile rest stop. As I was leaving, rear tire FLAT AGAIN!! I was PISSED. Told SAG driver if I get 1 more flat I'm giving up. Was last person out of the rest stop. 6 miles later had 3rd flat!! SERIOSULY PISSED!!! |
