Submitted my Lawrence Tech grades while watching the boys because I needed out of the way. Planned on about 4 hours, but longer if it worked out. Had a really good ride. Very easy the first two hours (HR 125), two hours a little more steady and mostly dirt and uphill (HR 147) and then an hour more moderate (HR 156). Felt very strong. Weather was absolutely perfect (upper 70s, sunny and dry).

PM: 4 hours 3'. 189W. HR 152. 

Around 80, sunny, quite dry. Did a predetermined loop, which worked out fine. Ortonville, Fox Lake Road, Sutton, south on Lake George chasing a long KOM (35:50 @ 261 watts HR 178, 19.5 MPH), which was still quite out of reach. I found it easier to rip through the 11 mile segment on Tuesday but I think they did some slight grading and I had a rare tailwind out of the northish (just didn't know the segment was there at the time). Went through some fluids. Even stopped at the fancy new old fashion hand pump station along Paint Creek. Took a bit of elbow power to turn it over, but it worked.

Allergies have been bugging me. Good run, but some slight coughing from the pollen.

Planned on 90' but I was terrifically hungover, so I cut it short. I haven't done that it quite a long time.
