Ride Description:                                                            

I knew today would be a challenge. I could not get a sense as to which direction the wind was coming. I certainly felt it at times and had to push a bit harder to get through some of the moments. The air was thick with clouds of pollen drifting about and much of it sticking to the back of my throat it seemed.

On the short rolling hills it was a tough push and I know I could have gone a little harder and a little smarter to come closer to my personal best. A few times I lost my mental focus. Oh well there will be better days of training and at least this does count for something.

I just wished I had some time in L4. Shows that maybe I did not push hard enough or I was too fatigued from yesterday's ride.
