As you recover, your muscle fibers heal and build to endure more. Hard to be patient sometimes... I have to remind myself of that.

That last trip was a boost to your overall development. Once you get over this little bump, you'll be that much stronger. That just means you’re still improving.

I couldn't get my heart rate out of the 120's - my legs were cooked. I needed a rest so bad and the older I get the more valuable rest days are (early 40s here) Cycling is so much more fun rested .... but I (and I suspect you) hate rest days. :) Congrats on your huge trip.
