Well, we talked (for hours) last night and it seems like we are tentatively working things out. I rode yesterday before going over for our talk, and had a great time on my own and held a faster pace than usual. I'm figuring myself out.

We're going on a ride (brick, actually.. I don't have a wetsuit, so I'll be doing a 5k while he swims a mile) on Saturday morning together, and I likely won't see him until then. Hopefully we both get some of our mental/emotional exhaustion out of our systems by then so we can have a really good time together. The ride is going to be in the same place he took me for my very first ride on my road bike.
