I think that in my Garmin ride records I'm going to make note of how I felt (1-10) as well as things like what I'd eaten, how I'd slept, weather, etc. so I can figure out what's going on.
For example, today's 25 miler:

I like this idea... a little pre-ride "how do I think I feel today", how I "thought" I felt during the ride and then what the times actually tell. See if any patterns emerge.
