The SAT: A recipe for fatigue

Yesterday I just completed a major stepping stone on the path to my collegiate career, and that's taking the SAT. After sitting an a lecture hall for four hours bubbling a scantron I have absolutely no idea how I did, but I know for sure that that test effectively incapacitated me for the rest of the day. This Saturday was the second installment of the local "Bring It On Races", and I once again missed out on getting to race, despite the fact that the test started at 8 and the race was at 2. Instead I just decided to roll around and look pretty while talking to everyone, all while pretending to actually be training, something that's not traditionally my style but I was so ridiculously fatigued that a could barely get my spandex on.
So already being a bit tired, I decided to make things better and ride nearly six hours today. It was actually a rather pleasant ride, with sunny weather and a tailwind back home. I can't say i feel more energized afterward, but I certainly feel better then yesterday. It's amazing how you can burn 3000 calories and ride 100 miles on a bike, yet still feel better then after taking a standardized test. As for next week the final training race will be augmented my the historic battle of Olustee, a ridiculously long ride/race that turned into bonkfest for me last year, so I'll be working on my eating strategies for the next week to get prepared.
