What embarrassed me was that I was "all over the place", as in, a threat to those around me. That "weak week", where even my workouts sucked, I tried to rejoin the pack as it came back around, and I just got in the way as I was unable to hold wheel after wheel. Rejoining after a timeout works much better, especially on a course with room on the outside. I rejoined the group at their pace, and worked my way up from the back. Much mo' bettah!
