It's towards the end of summer and I am having a hard time staying focused. I have been racing training and sweating all summer and I am feeling mentally fatigued and gimpy legged. The 4Man TT looms mid-Sept and then fall, cyclecross and the indoor season.
My goal for the rest of the summer is to train hard. My problem is focus. By now all the roads look the same and the workouts are bleeding into one large effort. I do not think I am suffering from over-training. I think I am suffering from "the same old thing." So my goal is to breath newness into my rides.
I hereby resolve: To do at least 1 new ride every week. To stop and smell the roses on recovery rides, every ride does not have to be a pound fest, and to smile when I ride. (Ruth says I am looking way to serious.)
There you have it: I will stress less and enjoy more. Have a fun rest of the season. See you at Starbucks sipping a latte.
