I've had a good winter of base milage, did a decent February and started road racing in March.
Everything was going well until 3 weeks ago. I had an unintentional overload week, which involved 2 steady rides, 2 chaingangs, a 1hr crit , a 60 mile road race and a 31 mile team time trial. My body got to the end of the week feeling battered, but still as strong and fast as the beginning of the week.
The weekend after I had no strength or speed at all, despite having a week off the bike. A couple of efforts I tried had my legs feeling weak. This weekend, after doing a Club 10 on Weds, I feel just as bad. I was expecting to bounce back in one week and feel stronger than ever in two, but i feel terrible.
Oh well, no more races for a while, so just back to getting in steady miles and see what happens.
