The mind relaxes, revisiting old worries to dwell on causing a loss of focus on the race, and the week ahead. The body also cools, remembering what rest feels like and what it’s been missing all this time. So finally, when the normal amount of sleep is allowed, and the perpetual motion grinds to a halt, it almost weakens you. If you only know pain, then you accept it. If you know what the opposite is like, then you, consciously or unconsciously, strive for it – making pain all the more noticeable.'So very true! It takes quite an effort to get back in the saddle after the rest day.</blockquote>
