Bicycling (Commute) 42:10 [3] 11.9 mi (3:33 / mi)
From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C., to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. Leaving just at 6pm, before the gate closed, I moved well. There was a slight tailwind on Ohio Dr. I caught the other woman from USDA whom I pulled for yesterday. She tagged along for a while but we got separated in pedestrian traffic by the Kennedy Center. I got pulled along the flats a mile out of Georgetown but again needed to slow as I was going up the hill. I was carrying my laptop which made it all the harder to keep up.
