Am I riding too much?

The old saying goes excuses are like … everyone’s got one. I’ve got plenty of excuses for a poor performance Saturday. The heat, overtraining, my hydration plan backfiring. The reality is though I think I just took myself out mentally. I wasn’t focused like I should be. I went out a little harder then I wanted to and started to bonk on the last climb of the first lap and really had to fight with myself to not quit on the second lap. My legs felt really heavy and I just couldn’t push the pedals like I wanted, but I didn’t quit and I didn’t finish last. Oh well, next weekend is another race. NORBA is Saturday afternoon. The weather is looking good so far, off and on rain all week and then low 70’s for Saturday.
