busted

This is my first full season of road racing. I started on April 4th. It is now August 10th. That is about 4 months of non-stop racing that my body has never experienced. I wasn't taking it easy either. I did some pretty tough races. I never really understood the concept of the burnout. I thought it was purely psychological. Like, I would just look at my bike and not want to ride it. I never thought it would be like, I would get on my bike and NOT BE ABLE to ride it. But, that's what's been happening.

Sure enough, the Tuesday Drives Ride was a premonition for the weekend to come. My high-end has deteriorated. It went away so quickly. I never thought it would be possible from feeling super awesome one week to only being able to pedal in squares the next. I think it's obvious. Too much intensity too fast on limited base training and I finally reach a breaking point. I mean BG knew what has happening... he called it. I thought I could just keep going forever. Too bad I'm human.

Not sure how to get back to where I was but I guess that's why I have BG. All I can do now is just not ride or think about bikes.
