Bonk...Bonk...Bonk...goes the T...Man I hit the wall early and often tonight. I guess I needed a longer recovery period between Sundays 100K and tonights 26 Miler. Although the hill were moderate, the wind was harsh going out. I rode so slow that I made my brother and Barry wait for me over and over again. I should have road with C tonight, but I felt good before the ride and had no foreshadowing of the dread to come. I manage to finish, but I bet our ride was sub 12mph, although I have not looked yet.
In the beginning my heart rate got up to 150+ and would not come down. I got to the Berlin Turnpike from RH and should have turned around, but I ferried on. We got lost twice, which also slowed us down a bit, but it was mostly just plain old fatigue. Don't know if I need to just take a week off and rest, or ride shorter rides for a while slowly. I think group rides are out for a week anyway. Maybe I'll just ride C group next week.
