Yesterday was a hard day--"up hill and into the wind" is our modus operandi. We did 56 windy miles with a half hour of rain to boot. Today we did well for the first 33 miles into Lincoln but rested way too long talking to Mr. Dickson. Richard was pooped and wanted to stay in Lincoln for the night, which was fine with me. Well, I made a wrong turn (away from the hotels) and we ended up biking 33 more miles to Springfield. That puts us at 66 for today and 218 for the trip.
Pain is an interesting thing. At first, it seems to hold you back. But there is a point when you simply "work through" the pain and perform much better than seemed possible.
