First day back and the humidity got to me. The first two efforts were as expected at 350 and 340, Then I dropped to 321 and then 312. Went through two bottles but was still down almost 5 lbs after this ride. An average of 331 is ok.

In light of the Sunday and Tuesday 100 milers I took yesterday off with only w couple of long walks with the dogs here in Michigan. Other than that it was time at the beach reading and then dealing with  my hacked email account.
