This day has been a long time coming. I think yesterday's headwinds broke me. I need to rest. I made it much further than I thought, and I am grateful for pushing through challenging days in Washington when I wanted to quit.


Now it's time to sit by the beach, watch the waves break on the rocks and stretch. I know a few tiger cyclists will be doing the same. There may be rain this afternoon, if so, it's a good time to hunker down.


I feel sleepy throughout the day, like I never woke up and never slept. Perhaps the exhaustion from the last several days has finally got to me.


I'll be updating this blog, editing some photos, and responding to loved ones.
