I feel old
You know how on some days your legs feel like cement but after a few efforts they open up and you are flying? Today was not one of those days. Our weekly World Cup had the distinction of having Yellow Jersey wearer Dave Zabriskie show up tonight. Along with T-Bird and Louder it actually looked like a World Cup. Pretty cool to have those guys there if you ask me. Anyway I guess my efforts over the last week have taken their toll. I finally slept last night, 16 hours! I have been dragging low all day and almost bailed on riding completely. I figured worst case I could at least ride out and see how I feel. Felt OK on the ride out but did not put out any efforts, so I decided to race. It was windy so I knew it would be hard from the start. I lasted a few laps and maybe could have hung till the end, but man were my legs hurting. I pulled the plug about 15 minutes in. I hate droping out of any race, even training races but I have to be carefull not to over do it and be fresh for Gila. Live to fight another day so to speak.
Ride safe.
