Maybe you should consider adopting a training routine more appropriate to someone who is just getting into competitive cycling. Or even for someone who isn't just getting into it. You should NOT be wrecking yourself in training. There are a lot of people on these boards with a lot of knowledge to share. Do some searches, ask some questions. Just because you've heard people talk about intervals doesn't mean that you should be throwing yourself into high-intensity, especially not without a comprehensive long-term plan of which they are a coherent part, working toward some kind of tangible goal. Trying to train like this will not make you very fast or strong, and it will burn you out incredibly quickly. You'll hate racing, you'll hate training, you'll stop doing it and miss out on a lot of fun. Get some good training advice. Buy a copy of Joe Friel's book. Etc etc.
