Huffing and puffing

The weather forecasters were dead wrong. Instead of today being the better day, it is raining. After painting for 4 hours I belatedly headed out on my bike. I opted for the very flat and not so great W&OD trail instead of my hill ride. Why, because if I got caught in a downpour I had better options for escape.

Due to the flat terrain, I worked on cadence. I was spinning like there was no tomorrow. My panting surprised even me and may have startled a few horses. At the end of the day I logged in 52 miles but I was tired. I would like to have gotten in a little run as a brick workout but it was so late when I returned all I could think about was food.

Tomorrow, back in the pool and will I ever need it.
