just been out for a ride . . . now i'm depressed.
basically i got myself pretty fit earlier this year because i just wanted to get a little fitter generally, then i agreed to do mayhem in the 10 man team so trained pretty hard and got fit and posted my laps in a reasonable 1 hr 5mins for that course which i was pretty happy with and i was also at the point where hill climbing was becoming dare i say it . . . easy :shock: well not that painful anymore anyway!
then someone at work quit.
the overtime is great don't get me wrong and in this day and age i'm happy of it but i've had to do so much overtime cover that i'm way too tired to ride, i have just done 5 12hr days and i'm about to go in for 2 nights starting tonight at 6. i have also had to start training the new guy while still having to do my own work aswel so not only is it more shifts but more to do when i am there.
basically i'm knackered!! and have been for almost the last month.
after these 2 nightshifts i have 2 days off (bearing in mind i'll be sleeping most of one of them) then i'm back in for another 4 days followed by 2 nights then 5 days and then finally i have some time off just in time for the OWMTBC by which time i'll be even less fit than i am now.
so as the title suggests, i depressed with the ride i just did. slow and hard and it was only 15 local offroad miles on mostly flat terrain.
the only light at the end of the tunnel is the 19 days off i have from the 2nd of september then the overtime stops on hopefully november 15th. until then it's slow rides when i'm not absolutely knackered.
i hope i haven't depressed anyonelse with this depressing ride related grumble.
