9 Riders at the start...
i was up really early today, insane amount of frustration and stress dealing with microscope issues, texts every day from the shop saying there's more shit that needs to be built no rest, no RdR..
I ate well - got that down at least, hydrated well, shaved my legs but check the Heart Rate data on the ride over on strava tonight.
It tells the story. I lead off with Dreamy Dave coming down Waterfront drive and then I never saw the wind again. I got popped just trying to stay on wheels. Last week I could stay on the wheels. This week. No. Fucking. Way.
Mechanically I felt good riding back. But pushing it wasn't possible. Too much coffee masking massing fatigue load and working every day w/o rest is not the way to get back out of that hole.
Add to it all the stress of now getting the van ready for a road trip (that I'm not going to be on). Insanely complicated Thursday coming up.
I was able to identify the emotion today - sad. But maybe that's just me being tired.
How bad did I get dropped?
Well they waited at Hillside for me. Then Syl turned around and rode back looking for me. He didn't see me.
Just looked at the fly-by - he turned around JUST before I got there.
Funny. But sad they waited for nothing. Oh well.
Looking at the segment time - def on par with one of my slowest rides.
Best be riding home now though.
it is late. I'm tired... and the wind probably has shifted from being a tailwind pushing me home into a headwind at this point.
