pretty much an awful 2.5 hour z 1/2 road ride today. no legs at all, even though im very mentally in it right now. so i made a decision...if i was a coach who was coaching myself, what would i tell me? i'd tell me to stay off the bike for a week, at least. that was my gut answer each time. i just have a feeling that if i don't take a real break now then it will come back to bite me in the arse. anyone have any input on this? good/bad idea?
probably doesn't help that i've been doing a lot of single track hammering with a cat 2 with super good technical skills. that stuff hurts. but for some reason i keep going back every time when i know there's no real point. fun though. but i think it's hindering this whole rejuvenation process. my gosh today's ride sucked.
