From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD, then to 13th & C St. SW, Washington, DC. After a rushed morning in which I'd woke up late, I got going and felt good at first. The cool air had also had something to do with that. I was surprised I didn't feel it more in my legs from running longer the night before. I was partly motivated to ride since I hadn't ridden much the last month, and was low on cycling mileage. The last month was also intentionally more focused on running at the expense of cycling. I feel I need that with many long races this fall. I did feel some soreness setting in as I was passing others and probably pushing too hard. For one guy I'd caught, I traded pulls all the way until leaving Georgetown. I think I was still pushing a little harder than he was. The winds seems calm or mixed at worst.

From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. I started my ride from Court 2 of my office for the first time. It was just a tiny bit further. I rode okay but felt I was going slower than I ended up. I wasn't feeling that strong; a little sore from the run the night before.
