Fatigue

This week I did two tough efforts, Covered Bridge #1, and two Leroy TTs. Other than that, I did short easy tempo rides. I'm feeling weary.

I planned to do a tune up ride the same as last week. Two circuits of the Bass Lake/Sherman/Auburn/Woodiebrook loop, the first at easy tempo, and the second at race pace. The first round was ok, but I faltered early in the second loop, and just took it easy on the way home.

Today was the first day the temperature got into the mid 80s with a raging wind out of the South. The conditions took their toll. The plan for tonight is to stay hydrated and relaxed, and that's my plan for the race tomorrow. I want to do a more efficient ride than last week and enter the last lap reasonably fresh.
