Yesterday, after work I went for a slow 19-mile training ride. It was windy and the course was relatively hilly (well, at least for me) at certain parts. The odd thing is I felt very tired and sleepy towards the end of the ride. I still feel tired this morning with a 7.5 hour sleep.
Is this a sign of over-train, or bad nutrition, or just me being weak?
I am a newbie in triathlon. I normally have a 50-mile ride every Saturday morning with one/two 10-15 mile ride during the week and generally feel ok afterwards. I am training for my first half ironman which will take place in mid June.
Any advice will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am a female in my early 30s. And after the ride yesterday I've got my period. Does this affect anything?
