Day 30 - On The Way
Felt amazing to wake up and be motivated. It was good to have someone with me to get me going. Good to have someone to talk to at breakfast. Good to have a back to stare at while I draft behind him. Breakfast at the hotel was amazing like usual. We wanted to get going before 45 mph gusts picked up in the afternoon. We started in the dark and were stopped by many stoplights. Stopped at a gas station 6 miles away to top off our waters. I’ve made a promise to myself that my water supply will never go dry again. After that a man warned us about the highway to Kermit. Said the cars/18-wheelers are very dangerous. Thankful we had a very good shoulder. I’m starting to like Texas a little more. Wind was easy. We stopped at mile 14 and then 25. We climbed up to this hill then had a slight downhill pretty much the last 5-10 miles to the hotel and cruised at about 18-20 mph. So easy. I was also drafting behind dad pretty much the entire day. We stopped at a gas station to fill up on water cause the hotel would probably not be open as it was only 10:00!!! Earliest I’ve ever ended my day. Shortest day too. Felt real nice. Chilled out in the lobby then went to the room. I was exhausted but needed a run. Painfully me and dad slogged through 3 miles. After that we did some laundry for the first time on this trip and I came up and took a nap. I woke up after about 35 minutes cause I could’ve kept going for another 8 but wanted to sleep tonight. Called mom and then got some dinner at the gas station which is always incredible. Came back and chilled out. FaceTimed Hayden and lost once again in 8-ball. One day I’ll be coming for his 250 game win streak. But today I’ll let it settle. Gonna rest well tonight before probably the longest day tomorrow. Tailwind! (Hopefully)
