Tired

I've been a little over-worked, over-stressed this past week. We pushed hard at work trying to complete everything in time for the 4th of July holiday. I guess it wore me down more then I had expected. We didn't ride tuesday night due to severe thunderstorms and lightening. I didn't have the ambition to get on the trainer until wednesday night. No riding on thursday either. I was so tired thursday that I went to bed at 9:30 and slept for ten hours. This morning's Saturday ride went well. I didn't feel like I had a good spring in my legs but I rode well and finished 3rd, 6th, 4th and 4th in consecutive sprints. I took the short ride bail-out and finished up with 54 miles. I'm ready for a nap! 

I plan to take it easy today and tomorrow and then get back on my normal schedule this coming week.

The Tour has started. I hope everyone is watching although I am worried that it may be somewhat boring with very few "Big Name" riders there. We will be cheering for Valverde.

We did 30 miles today - 23 on road followed by 7 off - at a state park a little south of Atl. Fun time . . . planning on going to another park tomorrow . . .

Tour . . . I disagree - I think all the "fresh meat" can make it that much more exciting . . .
