Thanks to all of you, I've earned my Hero Jersey again this year which means I upped my mileage goal again too. I cannot thank you all enough for the support and encouragement.
Started day 2 of the challenge with heavy rain. There was a break in the weather and thought I would get a few miles completed before the next wave of rain. Wrong! 3 miles from home and the skies opened up. Not sure if my shoes will dry any time soon! The mud from the back tire came all the way up to my helmet! lol.
