| 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? |

Was actually a fairly good ride, no wind, mostly sunny, not suffocatingly humid. (I'd pay for the lack of wind in CO). Cad:79, Vert:200, ATemp:62F |
