Day 165

I realized about 20min into my ride that slowing my pace meant I didn't dress warmly enough, but it was still dry... then I saw what looked like an approaching wall of rain, and it turned out to be an approaching wall of hail.  The hail turned to snow, to rain, back to hail, and back to snow and rain for pretty much the whole time I was out.  Hail really seems to sting my face.  Snow seems to make my spandex-covered legs colder much faster than rain, and it also sticks to my glasses and fogs them up.  Rain doesn't really bother me too much, but riding without anything warming my head today, I think the rain played a role in making me really cold.  30.16km in 1:10:57, for an avg speed of 25.5km/h... most importantly I kept my effort almost all in zone 2, with an avg of 152W (156W normalized).
