2022 mileage: 3039.3
Today, I had originally planned to ride early ... but then, as it had cooled significantly since yesterday, I decided to spend my morning hours composing instead, and ride in the late afternoon.
The Tigers played at 2:00 (our time) in Chicago, and I rode following my viewing of the dispiriting loss. After having won a season-high six consecutive games through Friday, they got spanked yesterday 8-0. Today was almost worse. Detroit jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a first-inning home run, but after that could do nothing, while allowing Chicago to keep chipping away a run at a time, until in the end they won 4-2.
With my heart heavy, therefore, I pushed myself out the door at 5:00 in 82° sunshine and rode a single round trip to Marsh Park, for 10.3 miles in 1:18. To achieve that mileage, though, I had to tack on a couple of laps in our complex at the end. When I was less than a mile from finishing, on an uphill stretch in right sunshine, the voice of the app announced, "WORKOUT PAUSED," I didn't want to stop on the uphill, and I couldn't have seen my phone in the bright sun anyway (to restart it), so I kept going until I reached a shaded spot at the top of the hill. And then, once I got inside, the Relive app didn't create a proper video today anyway.
