yup I was doing the fitday.com thing too. By the 3rd race of the season and 5 races in the winter season I was completely tired of ALL number coming from the bike and food intake. I also got tired of riding because it wasn't fun any more, seemed more like a chore to get ready for the next race. I was mentally tired of it all. Good thing my race season takes the summer off, so the 3 months of without racing let me find the fun side of riding again. I'm hoping to explore a new side after I convert my race MTB to a SS. I'm hoping it will make a hill climber out of me.
