Listen to your body

Leading up to the Mont and just after i have been feeling pretty tired. I haven't felt like doing long rides on the weekends and have been skipping normal rides. This i have learnt is a sure sign i need some rest. It has been a big year with not much of a break so every time i skip rides my body has been shutting down more craving the added recovery. This has made me feel a bit lethargic without any go. If you ever feel this happen to you, take it easy for a week or two and get plenty of sleep. 2-3 weeks later you will find yourself in better than expected form and raring to go again.

Liking to shock the body back into things i will be heading up to the last round of the Enduro series at Ballarat on Sunday. A lazy 6 hour MTB ride in the heat should remind the body what it is all about and will be good preparation for the Kona 24 Hour.
