Did you ever go out to exercise and realize that you just didn't have legs? I mean, sure, you had legs, but they just weren't really doing the job. Today, I had one of those rides. For some reason (probably Bob and Ross wearing me out during our Saturday ride), I felt like someone had removed all the power from my legs. Usually when I have this feeling it lasts a couple of miles and wears off as I get warmer unless it is really cold outside. The temps on the ride were mild, but I really think that I just didn't have it. Even the mid-ride pep talk with newlyweds Sean and Valerie Mullen didn't seem to turn things around.
The end result was a 25 mile ride at just under 15 mph hour where my heartrate never got too high and I just felt like packing it in the whole time. Thankfully, I have my honorees and supporters to draw strength from on days like these. Hopefully, my next ride will feature energized legs.
