Too wet

The plan was about 2 hours, 60km of riding this morning. If you went by the forecast, some showers were to start between 10 and 12, so we should have been mostly dry for a ride starting at 9. Instead, the rain (more than showers) started at 8:30, but we pushed out anyways. I got about 30 minutes in before the thunder started getting serious, I was soaked to the bone, and there was little chance of the rain stopping anytime soon. I decided to call it at that point, and race back to the car. I figured at least I could hit the trainer for a second hour. By the time I got home, I found I had enough of a chill that I was better off just having a warm bath and curling up for the afternoon rather than push too much. It's disappointing to give up a bit of training time, but that hour isn't going to make or break my year. I'll get my miles the next couple of weekends, and be ready for Milton.

Turns out, we were actually lucky to only get a dump of rain where I was riding. At the house, about 30km south, there was a hailstorm while I was out. You could still see the marble-sized hailstones in the yard when I got back. Some days Mother Nature is telling you to take it easy.

Bike: 60 minutes, ~30km
