5 to 15 mph headwind the entire leg. Slow. At least it was shorter. My legs feel dead -- I definitely need the planned rest day for tomorrow.

After the climb in the middle of the day, on the gentle descent into the valley near Cedar City, there were thermals popping off to the left and the right of me the whole way -- visible as dust devils. At one point I counted 5 of them. Where is my hang glider when I need it? :-)
