What has four letter and has the same meaning as misery??? Come on ... you know what it is..... ????
B-O-N-K!!!!! holy mother alive it was the hardest mental weekend getting through the miles of training. I was empty, stupid on the fuel, and just plain burnt out.
78 miles on Saturday and I suffered from mile 1! Legs were full of cement. Sunday I had a training ride with my team for a 40 mile road race we have next Saturday that I completely forgot about. Anyway, I get there to practice the course and I felt like my legs were detached from my body. It was unreal!! SUCKFEST is more like it.
Anyway, I suffered for 2 laps (each 15 miles)
lap 1 - 18.3 mph avg
lap 2 - 16.8 mph avg
Racked my bike and went home.
So in the words of my friend, Roy I am proud of myself for getting in the miles and gutting out the misery :)

Suckage indeed! Way to gut out the misery! Mind over matter, right?!
There is a fine line between toughing it out and calling it quits. Looking at the way your pace dropped off you made the right call.
sounds like my Sunday ride as well. nothing to do but push through it best you can. you will still come out stronger on the other side!
Hope you are fueling up, recovering and feeling better this week!
Way to GUT IT OUT! (I like that)
I was right there with you GF although my body for the most part felt fine....it was my mind and spirit that wanted me off that bike. I was happy to be sharing in the Suckfest with you. Funny thing though....you still ride freakin strong even when you are hurting. : )) See you tonight I hope.
Sounds like some real self-torture:-) Ok, come on...you like it:-)
Have a wonderful race next weekend. I'm sure you're so ready now.
Bless your heart...or legs!! Sorry about your ride, but I know that you made the right decision and will be stronger because of it!
Hugs!
