I am over trained right now. Took 2 weeks to admit it to myself. Hill climbing SUCKS right now. In fact, anything that requires power sucks right now. The lactic burn will not quit. My averages are down, too. Mood is gone to crap. I don't really care if I eat or not either.
Arizona is 7 weeks away. The way I see it, I need a week off, a sort of reset if you will. I think I need to do this, although I'm not really wanting to. Last year I ignored the signs, and it cost me the month of January in training time. Seems you just keep skimming down your reserves until there is nothing left. The crappy part is that I could so easily have competed in IM WI this year. I was ready. Now, it is like trying to maintain a peak for forever.
Yesterday was the Tyranena Oktoberfest Ride. It was a really good time, and the weather was great for it. I rode with Jeff, Kerry and Dave. We stopped for a woman who fell and did a nasty dislocate of her left arm. As I'm whinning internally that this is not what I want to deal with (thinking head injury), I discover she only struck her arm on the fall and is fully concious. There was another wreck about a mile and a half up the road and medflight was there for that. So really, could have been worse. We never did hear what happened to those riders.
