5/20 From Mark:
Today
was my first long ride in a windswept rain. Fortunately the temps were
in the low 60's so it wasn't too bad. I was scheduled for a 4 hour ride.
However, had to cut it down to about 2.5 hours for a few reasons. The
biggest reason was that my right toes and mid-foot were soaked to the
bone and had essentially gone numb on me. In addition, as the rain
continued to get heavier the ponding on the roads brought on potential
hydroplaning. Not to mention the low visibility and trying to keep my
glasses wiped. I think it was a good overall to experience this in the
event i ever have to deal with it on a race day. Glad i sucked it up and
went out :)
