We did a 3 golf course loop 51 miles, one climb early and two near the end. New seat was great, even felt good to get back on after we took a short break. Climbing is getting better- it's still tough, but I haven't had to suck wind like last year, and am finding myself recovered by the time I descend, or very shortly there after. We did run out of water with 10 miles to go, and the muscles were getting fatigued. I thought I'd be hurting today, but I'm feeling great. Huzzah!
