Tailwind into work

Had an absolutely storming ride into work today. When I looked down it read a touch over 40 minutes on my cycle computer, a good five minutes faster than normal.


I had spoken to Fee about her impending trip to the Alpe d'Huez triathlon so was feeling a bit left out of competition so perhaps I was subconsciously put a bit more in? I was convinced it had to be my legs getting race conditioned for a main event (which sadly does not exist this year).
Later I realsied it was a fierce tailwind which I will have to ride into on the way home so by the end of the day I may be glad I don't have to swim in an icy lake, cycle up three mountains then run a half marathon at altitude --good luck Fee!!
