Distance: 28.3 miles
Avg Speed: 12.8 mph
Temperature: 46 degrees w/ a fierce wind
Total Training Distance: 122.9 miles (so far)
Weight: 189.4 lbs

Rode today with the rest of the team through the hills of Clermont. It was OMG cold! The temperature in itself wasn't bad, but the wind was strong and felt like it blew right through you. I thought the hills would be tough but both my legs and lungs were fine. At the end of the ride, I had enough in the tank to bike another 10-15 miles without a problem. I am looking forward to biking in warmer weather though.

I did have one incident on the road. Again it resulted because of the cleats and pedals. My left foot snapped out of the pedal while I was riding. I looked down to snap my foot back in and ran right into one of those folding metal barricades that was on the side of the road to mark some pot holes. One more bruise on my knee to go with the others. Oi vey! What a clutz! :-)
