well! that was tough, but i was more or less in control the entire time! my plan was to avg 257W for the first 10mi cruise (after a slower warmup), and then 258W for the second 10mi cruise, then a fingers-crossed-for-258W for the rest. and i did! my first avg was 260, a bit high, and the second was 258, on target but positive split. and i managed to keep at 260 for the last 5k. and with the wind as it was, i’ll take it!

the temperature wasn’t as bad as my long run two weeks ago, but the humidity was a beast — 98%, with obvious moisture in the air.

i got home to zero fanfare. not sure anyone in my family even noticed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
