i briefly considered wearing a t-shirt instead of a tankini (my bike wardrobe is dwindling with all of this consecutive biking), but was glad i chose the tankini as the beach was nice and warm and *sunny*!!! as an fyi, i took time lapse video of my outbound trip, but, unfortunately, the file is too big to post here. the other events of my trip: the wind was killer today going northbound and at the city limit separating venice from santa monica, i suddenly got very, *very* hungry. i usually bring sustenance even on the shortest trips, but i haven’t really used it so i skipped it today. besides, i had a protein bar just before i left. on my way south, i had considered biking further than my usual turn-around, but after encountering the wind and my hunger pains, i was glad i didn’t. when i got home, i devoured everything in sight: forelle pear, blueberries, salad, water w/ propel, chips and salsa, 1 piece of reheated pizza (in that order). in fact, i’m still eating right now. it’s so pretty and sunny right now, i think i’ll spend more of my day outside…

outbound: 7.40 miles / 37.17 mins / 11.7 avg mph // return: 7.41 miles / 42.22 mins / 10.4 avg mph (i told you the wind was killer.)
