Double isn't always Double

Today's workout was a 4 hour ride. The first two hours were great. Flying along, feeling great, moving at a good clip. Then the turn around happened and things changed. Not just the headwind and the rain. Just the accumulation of effort... it's exponential... or at least not linear.

My hamstring started hurting, the energy fell off (mainly mental!), it wasn't just double the distance coming back it was a new realm. Yes I have been here before and know all this it's just reliving it or experiencing it again makes me ponder. And therefore end up here.

The relativity of duration (or whatever unit of measure) for something... at some point becomes more as it increases. A comforting thought.

Of course a spasming lower back didn't help.
