I wonder if this has happened to anyone else. I train a minimum of 5 days a week (usually 6) and get "wonderfull" results on my hill and interval training. Come race day however I seem to fall out of the bus on hills and interval type work (chase in the bunch, relax in the bunch). I don't know if I'm doing the wrong training, or maybe it's the race day blues (On race day I want to do better than before). I feel rather stupid as I did some hill training this morning and felt much better than during the Edenvale race on Sunday. It feels like I've hit a brick wall when starting a race. I'm scared of the hills although I know I've done enough training and feel as if I've got no power/energy. I start carbo loading 3 days before the race. I must confess this only happens in the first 1/2 - 2/3 of the race. The last part of the race is usually great! Can anyone please help me PLEASE :'(
