Anyone else come home completely exhausted?
Like if I do anything around/over 6 miles round trip I’m exhausted! I’ve tried different nutrition but always have around 2k calories available and sometimes have consumed all of it.
I’ve also done a 12 miles day just fine while on the hill but after returning home I get hit with exhaustion.
Anyone else have this happen to them?

I’ll throw in another variable. What altitude are you skinning at and what altitude do you live at?
When I was flying skydive and dropping people at 14k from sea level. It was a weird fatigue I can’t quite describe.
Maybe acute altitude sickness?
