That was very good - first half genuinely and unequivocally enjoyable, second half with patches that I didn't enjoy (painful feet from riding into wind, aforementioned WIND also just in itself not enjoyable, general feeling of being too hot and ready to stop) but mostly fine. Wore my long-sleeved sun-protective white cycling top, don't know why I didn't wear it last week - it is much, much better than wearing a short-sleeved jersey. Used short breaks to manage foot pain - it makes a big difference, then I can do a better job with pedal stroke and prevent the situation from painfully escalating.

(I was already a few minutes late for my meet-up with B., otherwise I would have taken the time to make up the numbers!)
