Matrix Challenge-Day 1

I trained off and on in June and have felt the wrath of that yesterday. Cat 4 technical crit and I actually pulled out of the race. The first time ever I've been in that position. My lungs were on fire, my legs had no punch and I went out the night before and had a few drinks which I know subtracted from my performance but none the less, playtime is over. It's amazing how fast you can lose your legs and I have effectively lost them. I can ride the long club rides with the greatest of ease and just haven't been training enough, just riding. I'm off to race again today so I may not get the best results but it will definitely kick up my training. I'm off.
