Let this serve as a reminder to myself on the efficacy of calorie counting.
I have lost more weight in ten days of counting than I did without counting during 12 weeks of 24-hour race training where my volume was easily 50% higher.

A failed experiment. I thought maybe night riding would be the solution to all of life's problems, but it was not. I was, for one, exhausted. Adding to the lack of fun was a bike that refused to roll. I stopped 1/3 of the way into the planned route to see if I could diagnose it - nope, the back wheel just doesn't spin free. It's like going up a hill, everywhere. It may be great exercise, but it is not as fun as bombing around on backgrounds at 15 mph like last fall.
In conclusion I should suck it up and starting getting my lazy bum up in the morning, and also figure out why the wheel is dead.
