strange day with a good end

Somehow it was a strange day today, yesterday I had not a very great desire to torment me on the bike, and today I am then woke up again with the feeling that today I just do not have the head to torment me about the pain limit. No conditions if it is a 54km long team time trial to dispute. And so I was on the way to Sulz at Lauffenburger in Switzerland (yes, we were once again traveling in Switzerland) to denote not necessarily as a great joker. Also, the encouragement of my three colleagues Sebastian, Matthew and Thomas could not build me so well. And so then ran the race: the legs were good, to be exact, actually, pretty good, but the head did not fit on the legs: the pain was there, where she is also in training, and usually I can in the competition quite well over this limit torture, but today's was not somehow. The track consisted of a 27km-long round, which was twice to drive, mostly along the Rhine, with a 2km long climb towards the finish. The wind was now a bigger problem than the profile: permanently changing the wind direction and hit us again and again by other sites. The first round went very well, at the beginning we only had to find our rhythm a little bit, but then it went pretty well. The first round we completed in about 39min. Receipt of the second round we were overtaken by the later first-place team, four minutes we had got so already lost once (in the end it should be almost six). In the second Lap it was then Matthew and me, the slightly greater time drivers in the team the pace hold up, in particular Matthew was so good that I every time he to me, took the lead, heavy on the "chewing" was to keep the connection or to find all over again. Another team that was certainly a game started later (and only one lap completed), brought us in, but then it went back and forth time we were ahead, then we had to meet again can pass, depending on who in the various teams just performed the leadership. Rise from the finish we managed to get this crew up for good. Increase in the target I then took the lead, and for the first time I was a little beyond the Schmergrenze, in a show of strength I pulled my two remaining companions Sebastian and Matt finish (Thomas had discussed in his last tour before the final climb, where everything and then feared, let rip, as usual, the third driver for the period considered). At the end of a journey time of 1h 18min 10s was to beech (average 41.5 km / h), which meant for sixth place in the 14-team starting place. But a very satisfactory result.
then drove Matthias, Sebastian and I were cycling through the beautiful Albtal to St. Blaise where we have the day with a beautiful Piece of cake left end, before we return to Thomas got into the car to the rest of the way to Freiburg motorized to put behind us. I were still a bit further down the dial, but no one was able to motivate more and then somehow I lack the desire (or willingness to torture me yet). Somehow I felt and still not at full capacity, despite 54km team time trial and just under 100km in total, must be somehow related to my weird mind of today.
