Well, some days are high energy days. This one wasn't. Simple enough route, heading out Ben Zvi and the 44 to the 38 and then back.I had a good stretch before coming to Ramla, when I caught on with a group of triathlon riders going at a fast pace. I was able to keep up with the back half of the riders, even outpace them when there was a minor incline. After that, I passed some other riders on the gradual incline past the 431, but they were going slow. I had the benefit of a tailwind for a small portion of the return ride, until I got back to around Lod, and from there the wind worked much more against me, especially as I got closer to home. Was glad to be done with this workout.
