RAAM Post 25--Welcome Back to Hell

The fun continues!  I didn't think it could get worse but I was wrong!  My last pull was right at the limit of my ability to control my bike.  I went over a overpass and the winds were beyond anything I have ever experienced on a bicycle.  when I finally got to the end of my pull as I was riding up for the exchange, a towel flew out of the van into the rear wheel of my teammates bike and he immediately flatted--the fourth of this segment.  So on I went for another 3 miles.....how much did I pay for this?

My pull:

31:20
9.4 miles
18.0 mph
220 watts
76 rpm

We lost 7 minutes to the kids, we are down 27 minutes for fourth--the war continues!
