Notes
I coulda pushed harder, but didn't. Just LOVED the lush springtime scenery. There was one long hill, but it wasn't especially steep. We went over a covered bridge, which was cool. On the out & back portion, on the way out there was a very long curvy downhill. "Oh dear" I thought; "this is going to hurt on the way back." It seemed to go down forever.
Then, on the way back, I had shifted to the middle gear and was ready to shift down farther...but the uphill never came! HUH? Very weird. I had perceived a big downhill, but it wasn't....so the uphill didn't materialize.
T2 was fast (for me) because I didn't have to struggle with a stupid wetsuit.
