Sure, I know how it feels to develob an injury and try to avoid. And for example on my first TCR I thought my dry nose and throat felt just irritating at first but ended up with regular nose bleeds and a cough that lasted for a couple of weeks, so now I take better care of that too. All that caretaking takes some time but keeps you going for longer and more reliably.

hippy
I also think noobs can have an advantage in that they don't know how far they can push some stuff whereas vets have gone deep before and are wary of it? I'm definitely moving towards the "how much do I want this? not that much, I'm going to a hotel" kind of thinking. Possibly because I've bitten off more than I can chew this year but perhaps also because I've driven myself mentally and physically into the ground numerous times before? I wonder then if rookies push on when vets would play it safer and stop?
