Man, it was really tough out there today. I was only able to maintain 14-15 mph into the fierce headwind. Coming back from my loop, though I was cruising at around 25 mph. It was a really hard and fun 90 minute ride though. Anyone else take advantage of the conditions today to get in a hard training ride?

I'm not sure if I took advantage of the conditions...it felt more like Gustav took advantage of me!

I decided to head out on my 'hill' route today, and went toe-to-toe with headwinds from hell for 45 minutes straight. I wanted to cry. On the way back, though...35 mph average.

I didn't ride this morning, but when I was running I could feel Gustav blowing against me on the way out and he carried me on the way home; felt like a hand pushing my back when I wanted to slow down. Turned in an 8 mile run in 61 min.
