That worn feeling is probably from riding day after day at a very high heart rate or perhaps consistantly from not eating after your ride. Also the racer people tell me that biking performance goes in streaks and like every 6 weeks or so your performance may drop for awhile.

If you don't already have one, how about a heart rate monitor? I've been using one for a few months and am surprised at how high my HR was on the hills (though legs feel OK and not out of breath).
