Less than a week to go to Boise. The time has flown by. I feel fit and ready to race. I fought off a cold last week and seem to be OK. My asthma was negatively impacted. Not sure how much it will impact my race, it will, but I don't really care. The weather, my asthma, anything else...it doesn't really matter if you race to your full potential. I'm going to go out hard on the swim, attack segments of the bike, and try to execute a pr on the run. Obviously, I'm asking a lot of myself. At the end of the day I will be happy if I know I crossed the finish line with nothing left.
This past week I started to back off the training a little. I actually took 2 full days off and limited my weekend workouts to about 50-75% of normal volume with limited intensity. In fact today I ran 9 miles instead of the usual 12-15 and maintained a HR below 130. My legs felt pretty good. This week will include limited volume workouts, but good intensity. The most important thing this week is sleep. I will try and get plenty of it! As of today, the weather does not look that great for Saturday. Oh well, what are you going to do? Thanks for taking the time to read,
