I am a better climber. But I haven't felt the power needed to sustain 25+ mph for more than a mile or so.
I really think my body has changedto adjust toall the climbing I am doing.

Riding at my age is hard.
It seems there are only bried periods where I can remain sharp, but the rest of the time I'm flat.
I have age group worlds in November for triathlons and the Lotoja, which is scaring me.
So at ULCER I will stink because I won't rest up. Yesterday, I was strong up to 80 miles, weakened until about mile 100 and starting gaining strength again. Yet I lack sprinting power and the power to accelerate on the hill. I"m a decent grinder but no acceleration.
