I fell asleep late last night, so today I dragged and was tired the whole day. A headwind made it even harder. But with dedication and perservance I just tucked down low and kept moving my legs and tried not to think about how slow I was going or how sore my legs were. Oh and it rained a little. Boo :(

I was excited to meet Spongebob again. It's been a while since I've seen him, so it was nice to chat for a bit.

Biking is dangerous also. You lose your concentration for a second and you'll get run over by a tank! Trust me I know.

We crossed into Iowa today. A lot of us are expecting straight flat roads, but we'll see what happens.

I got to sleep inside! Yeah this means I can sleep in later and not have to pack up my tent.
