Heh. I wish it were just that, but I've been this way all through the summer too, and it's just been getting worse over time. This time last year I was coming off a glorious season of centuries every weekend and had been having the time of my life on the bike. Can't even imagine doing that now, even the thought of riding a mile to the shops and back on Sunday morning seems like a major undertaking.
It's hard to tell what's wrong, and I've had 12 months to cast about for reasons - maybe it's from the time I got left-hooked by that woman! Maybe it's because I was ill and spent a month unable to move! Maybe it's because I'm a feeble weakling now and I'm ashamed of myself! I can come up with a new reason almost every time I care to think about the 'why' and it feels like that's exactly what I do. Perhaps in the end it's a combination of all those things, and perhaps they're all just rationalisations on top of something else I haven't dug out yet.
Either way, I wish it'd fuck the fuck off, whatever it is.
