Going through a bad patch

Like clock work, every year, June rolls around, and I have a bad patch. Black Dog #4 was a bust for me. 15:15, 25 secs slower than 2 weeks ago. The heat and humidity really got to me, plus a headwind on the return is always a killer. Time to regroup and rededicate for the 2nd half of the season.

Jordan rode a 15:25 on HED Demo wheels (Thanks Timmer and Dino), which he loved. HED Jet Disc rear and HED Jet 9 front. He said they accelerated quicker, and were very smooth compared to his usual setup. His slower time did not demonstrate their benefit, but he's convinced it was his legs, and not the wheels.
