afternoon nine
i intended to get out for a morning constitutional but was instead drawn to watch the epic climb up Mont Ventoux on Versus. it is astonishing to watch the sheer determination of the riders and the unbridled enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of spectators that line the road up the mountain. in the end, i was pleased to see that Armstrong solidified his spot on the TDF podium with a strong effort.
after a relaxing morning and afternoon around the house, i geared up to head out west along the drumlin. temps were in the upper seventies but relatively low humidity and a steady wind made it feel comfortable. in all, i mustered nine miles in a few ticks past 73 minutes and called it a day. looking back over the past four weeks, i’ve averaged a little more than forty miles per week which is positive news.
MTD – 144 miles
YTD -727.8 miles
