Friday

Friday's ride was 38 miles in 2:00:00, HR was 129 and generally felt tired. I am starting to feel signs of overtraining and will take the weekend off. First sign that tells me I'm over trained is that my resting HR has been about 55 bpm which is about 5-6 beats higher than normal and my heart feels like it is pounding at rest. Second sign is on the bike ride, for the speed I was rolling I should have been closer to 140 bpm, I couldn't even get my HR up against the wind, I generally felt tired on the bike and couldn't do much to get the HR up. I've felt this before and won't fall victim to it again. Going to see how I feel on monday and decide what to do then.
