i was hit by a ufo today. it happened less than two miles out of town. the first hint of morning light was just appearing on eastern horizon when out of nowhere, a flying blur. it came from the north, swooped down and passed through the space between my arm and leg, brushing the underside of my right forearm before speeding off into the dark. the shape was too fuzzy to recognize in the few seconds i saw it. the feel of it on my arm was too vague to tell what it was. a large moth? a small bird? i'll never know.
other than my close encounter with a ufo, my ride went pretty well. i was able to push hard this morning and ride a few more miles than i had planned. there wasn't any stiffness or soreness from yesterday's long ride. it was great!
a cold front came through last night, so the moderate winds were from the northeast today and the temps were much cooler. when i left it was 70.6 degrees. when i got back it had dropped to 70.1. the humidity was low too. really nice after the past few weeks of 80-90% humidity with early morning temps in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
i pushed it coming back and pulled into my driveway with about 15 minutes to spare. i showered quickly and walked over to the pool for swim team practice. the head coach wasn't there, so i got the team started. she showed up just as they were finishing warm ups. (20.12 miles @ 17.2mph)
