tired & disillusioned

Lately, I'm noticing that I'm dying for Tuesday to cycle around. Its my rest day. And I feel like I need it. I remember the days where I'd konk out Sunday afternoon after swim practice but these days I feel like I don't have the time! I'd rather go outside, enjoy the sun a bit before it goes down. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe its the extra bike commute.

I eat like a pig. I keep telling myself that I have to eat post-workout and it just turns into a whole meal... whats wrong with me!@?

So why am I disillusioned? Roberto Heras has been suspended from his team for suspected doping. For those of you who don't know, he is a popular Spanish cyclist who rode for Lance Armstrong for a number of years and was his primary mountain climber/pace setter. This guy is incredible at mountains. A non-pompous, extrememly talented climber. I liked that. I don't want this to turn into a "everyone in cycling dopes", and I don't really care if Lance has. I just find it sad that this sport is so plagued with these incidents. I still marvel at how any of these men can achieve 60km/h+ speeds on flats, and I strongly believe that doping only helps them acheive that extra 1% to win competition. I'm rambling...
