Thanks so much for the website information. It is very helpful. I have an interesting issue. I started racing in the US. in about 1992 and reached a level of cat. 2 within the USCF. Every year I felt strong and fast until about June or so. Come June I would slowly lose strength and stop racing. I eventually got out of road racing and did a few triathlons which my last was Ironman Lake Placid in New York. When i returned home I could not recover from the event. This went on and I went from Dr. to Dr. until i went out of state to be diagnosed with Hashimoto Disease. I take a thyroid compound and Synthroid both. This year I started off feeling great until May. I was so sure that my thyroid was where it needed to be that I thought it must be something else. When i did check my thyroid levels it showed a Free t3 within the middle range but my Free t4 was 2.5 on a scale of 6.1-12.2. Here's my question. Is the training causing my thyroid to lag behind under the physical stress in which I need to adjust the dosage or could this be simple overtraining. I do admit to training too hard and not taking enough easy days. I don't want you to diagnose only to tell me if it is possible. It has been so frustrating when I train so hard to decrease in performance when the season starts. I did have some success but only because of a good spin and a good sprint but i suffered more that I should have compared to the spring. I don't know where else to turn and thanks for the info. Best Regards
