oups.com... I just returned from an 8-day tour of the midwest. This was a 6-leg circular route west to Des Moines from Chicago, then up to the Dakotas, back through Duluth, Green Bay. We mostly flew at 7000 ft. We had 20-30 knot headwinds on 5 of the 6 legs and never once a tailwind. Flying the wrong way around a pressure center? Not that it explains an 82% headwind rate, but all else being equal you'll have headwinds more than tailwinds, because any wind not parallel to your heading will force you to crab, which always turns direct crosswinds into headwinds, never tailwinds.
