Chimney Rock, hurting

Chimney Rock, 2:00, with Kirt. Route was different, his lead. West side normal, but small loop on bottom and return as entered, no fast descent. Quarry section was up all the way, then across middle, then out bottom. Across CR road & up. Then down to river & cross river. Climb then switch back left & climb more. No rock view. Left over rocky technical to intersection, right towards gravel road, normal route from there. Took Warmup back to ballfield, in reverse direction. Playground finale. Pace too fast for expected Allamuchy ride.

Felt basically lousy the whole time. Woke up hurting with a 75 RHR, not a good start.

Eventually got into it but faded, climb to rock & swithback was good, felt strong. Was generally sloppy behind the wheel overall today. Technically did very well, basically clearing everything attempted today. Physically low on energy.

Basically same breakfast as last week. Same bike food, same post food. But today was lethargic. Felt like I was choking down all my recovery food. Got home and realized I drank only half the bladder, so low calories & Water there. Felt upset stomach. Maybe not enough water? Maybe slight overtraining? Not enough sleep for sure. Not eating enough calories. All of this is a wakeup call. Need to be careful in these last 2 weeks.

Feel ok now at the end of the day finally. Took a light spin on trainer to get legs warm.
