That Not So Fresh Feeling

I've been piling on lots of miles and intensity lately. My plan has been to keep thrashing it until this week, take a rest week, and hope to be fresh for the July races.

It's going to be nice to take a break. I'll skip the drive to Westlake this week and actually get some things done around the house. Also, the exertion has been catching up with me. My back is sore most of the time, and for the past week, some rides have been a real struggle. The fatigue is most noticable when I'm just riding tempo; it's a real effort just to cruise along at 20 mph on the flat.
