This feeling never goes away. I always get nervous the night before a ride, especially a century ride. My body knows the routine but there was something in my head.
I wasn’t eating and wasn’t drinking enough. At the second SAG, I sat on the ground and tried my hardest to re-hydrate but I still felt funny.
It was decision time.
Fight the wind and the rollers for the next 38 miles in or take a ride. It was hard but I didn’t have it in me today.
Good decision, Barbie. Better it than a trip to the hospital and a day or two off the bike following.
