Not sure about my fitness crashing but I agree with you that I may even feel tired after rest week.
Just came back from the refit. It seems like I was sitting too low (1.5cm) on the saddle and that gave me a really sore right knee. Shortened the stem 10mm since I had to move the saddle back again, but lowered it one spacer. It seems like a better reach to the bars and much more comfortable on the hoods. I am going to try the new Stem length out during saturday's century, if it is the right length I am getting a 3T ARX stem that will fit the bike just perfect with the black and red theme. I know, the vanity of it all
