Ever feel really stupid?

I went for a ride today, a short 20 miler. I felt slow and tired from the
outset, and couldn't get my speed above 17mph on my road bike. I'm dieting,
and there was a headwind, so I chalked my slowness and tiredness up to that.
About 17 miles in I caught a whiff of a nasty burning smell. I got off the
bike and looked it over, only to discover MY REAR BRAKE WAS DRAGGING. D'oh!
I was much faster on the way home......
