No surrender

The race (yes... THE race) is less than a week away. Oh man! It's wild to think that this season has come this far and has been so much fun. I'm looking forward to next Saturday. It's going to be a grueling, but awesome 4:30 min (hopefully, haha). So this next week is going to be key. The last thing I want is my legs to get stale, but I certainly don't want to wake up Saturday sore from a crazy workout. Tomorrow, I'm going to get in one last massive brick. I'm going to do a long short workout. I'm either going to go for a long bike and a short run, or a shorter bike and a long run. I'm leaning towards the long run only because that's what I'm most worried about. I'm guessing for the rest of the week I'll probably run once or twice, go for at least one easy bike ride and swim once. This has worked for every race so far this season, so I don't see why it would fail me now. I'm just riding out the season and maintaining my fitness from now until October. The time to make major changes to anything is long gone. That's what the off season is for. Thursday morning... I'm done until Saturday at 8. I'm getting hyped just thinking about it.

So I had a plan. Scary, I know. My plan was to do an easy bike ride on Saturday, easy run today, and then a massive brick on Monday. The bike ride yesterday was awesome. It felt so good to get out on the bike. It was a little warm, but it was a great day for a ride. I averaged just over 20 on the road bike over 31.7 miles. I was pretty happy. I wasn't trying to kill myself, just get an easy ride to get my legs feeling good. Not much else to say about that.

This morning I was downtown by 9:30 to pick up my tri uniform which is awesome. I was so happy to have it. The top is a little short, but who cares. It fits everywhere else. It's motivation for me not to slouch on the run and burn off a little bit of chub. I wanted to run between 8 and 10 miles this morning. You know, get some good distance. But it's damn near impossible to do this without water stations or gels. I was on empty by mile 6.5. It's ok though. Because considering there will be water stations along the run and the bike and I'll be sucking down gels like candy everything will be cool. I felt fine after the 6 miles in Lurray so it's a defineate plus having the gels and water.

Tomorrow. Big brick. Fast, and intense. Gels, cliff bar, water. It's going to be good.

Rest of today. Laundry.

Sorry if my writing has been sub par lately. I either write here right after a workout when I'm totally wiped or before I go to bed.. when I'm totally wiped. Thanks for readin yall!
