Windy!

The first day of group training went great. We had a small turnout, as some opted to run 2 back to back half-marathons and do St. Louis last weekend and Nashville this weekend.

I rode 20 miles with the group in Columbia, IL. The wind was horrible on the way out. We struggled to average 12 mph. With the wind to our backs, we were able to average 22 mph easily on the way back. After the group ride was over, I faced the wind again and rode another 20 miles by myself. I had a great ride, and it was nice to get outside after riding two weeks in a row on my indoor trainer!
