As you note in your signature, all athletic endeavors are one part physical and two parts mental. Sometimes the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak -- and sometimes it's the other way around. A slump can result from any number of things and even affects world-class athletes. Hey, give yourself a break, DG -- it's winter and a difficult season for most of us to negotiate at "wide open throttle". Don't sweat it and you will be "back in the zone" in no time!!
