why do you only have so many bursts (matches) in the tank.
firstly, i am into my second year of internse riding.
i am finding (as the veterans predicted) that i can ride my legs to their limit only several times before i am spent and cannot recover even with several minutes of resting in the pack.
this usually happens on hills of which there will be around 5-10 that push me to my limits on our 45 mile rides.
which energy system is the limiter?
are there any tricks that you can use to increase the number that i can do?
i realize that the ultimate answer is better conditioning with intervals but i am looking for less obvious answers.
thanks
