Training Log: Cycle, Climb, Cycle

Another run of the "Timbo Biathlon." About 7 miles riding, 2½ hours climbing, then another 7 miles back again. I was pretty well gassed by the end of the ride. Straightaways felt fine, but hills were killing me. Instant burn, with a complete inability to keep pace setting in within 20 seconds. This is ringing bells about ATP and ADP and exhausting available energy stores, but the bottom line is that I recognize this feeling, and it invariably means I'm done for the day.

After running Wednesday, spinning Thursday, and doing this today, I'm taking tomorrow off. I'd thought about hiking or hitting the weights, but I just plain don't feel like it.
