Point is there could be many reasons they are going so slow maybe out on recovery ride or they were just hammering for a few hours and are in slow ride rythem
I think I was confessing to having a jerky thought--it's not a dirty look I'd give someone or something I'd ever say to them precisely because of your type of situation and the kind of situations you're describing (which I did kind of cover in my disclaimer).
In the meantime, and I mean this quite sincerely, yay for you! Keep 'em flying at whatever pace you can manage, and may your recovery be full and fast, with the wind at your back.
And if I ever did give you such a look, feel free to tell me to eff off. I'd deserve it.
