    tired Feeling very flat 65.81 km 02:29 16.5mph pace

    For the life of me I cannot work out why I felt so flat on today's ride. I hope this doesnt happen on Race Day! Might have been the heat? Who knows...thought about cutting it short a few times... read more

      Sounds like a tough ride. Lots of climbing. What race are you training for?

      That does sound like a lot of work ... and it's been rather hot too. Some days are flat for no reason ... and the next are often better.

      Sounds very tough! I think soldering thru those kinds of rides is extremely good training. Well done Chris! Hope you feel better on race day.

      Something slightly comical about you saying "got 'er done". Trying to imagine what that sounds like with your accent. Nice toasted Tuesday spin, from the girl who's still on Monday :)

      You definitely will increase speed with mass loss! But remember when you were fueling for body sculpting that was for weight training and lower intensity cardio as opposed to endurance you do now.
