I have found that my cardio endurance seems to be my limiting factor at this point. I am able to do the tough trails from a strength perspective but it seems like my chest is on fire at that point and thats what stops me. Now maybe if my legs were stronger i wouldnt be working as hard cardio wise? Either way i am trying to build more leg strength as well as more cardio endurance.
Even after a tough ride, my muscles are not sore and im not in any kind of pain. Unlike when i used to run daily my whole body would be sore after a tough run. After tough areas on the bike i am still able to continue riding and climbing after a little water and a reat for a few minutes. So i dont think its muscle fatigue. More hitting my cardio limit at the time.
