Hit the Wall? 😖
Did I hit the wall this morning? I intended to ride about 10 miles before turning for home; but after around five miles or so, I began to feel weird.
I’m not sure what was going on. Not drinking enough water? Was I getting too hot, despite the cool rag? (It was nearly 80 degrees before 8:00 am). Bonking? But I ate a banana and nut butter before I began the ride.
I didn’t want to hit the wall for sure by continuing; so I started back home several miles early.
Just as Well 😮💨
It’s just as well that I did turn back early. The headwind on the way home was a killer: 13 mph from the NE. The slog seemed endless. Why did I feel so tired?
I knew that T-storms were possible in a few hours; and naturally I wanted to get home ahead of any bad weather. I beat it by a long way; I didn’t hear any thunder until quarter past twelve.
The forecast for tomorrow morning says, heavy rain. Not good for riding; but maybe the downpour will hold off until late morning!
