post-century lack of motivation

[blue_angel]

Depressed isn't the word I'd use, but maybe more "blah." So yeah, maybe a walk in Bird Hills today or something instead is in order.

I always feel a bit unmotivated and "blah" after a 100-miler (I usually do about 1 per month from May-Oct)...it's a normal feeling for me. A 100-miler is a big deal (at least for me it is) and even after 3 solid years of riding and doing many centuries, I still find them to be extremely challenging. It is perfectly normal for me to NOT want to get on my bike (except for maybe a casual recovery ride) for several days after completing my "monthly" century ride.

I call it burn out. It's not just the century, but all the training that led up to it. Give it a couple days, then plan a fun ride--for ice cream or with a friend. Maybe hit the gym for a change of pace. It will pass.
