I feel like I'm coming up short on my goals, but it was just one of those days when it felt like someone or something was telling me not to push my luck.
I had a similar experience. I set out for my 35-mile route, to test out the new 11-34 cassette and see how I would do on a climb near the state park. It was after 22 miles or so, almost didn't make it up the hill, totally out of gas and HR into Z5. Thought I would have had more, just one of those days. I pretty much took it easy after that, my right calf twinged a little, didn't want a cramp. I got up early to watch the Tour, maybe a lack of decent sleep?
