Life lesson- figure out what you need to deal with now, and what you can hold off on and do all together in a batch. As an example, the workouts need to get done on a regular basis, but I can batch up these updates, as they won’t impact my performance on race day. Focus on what you need to get done now, and work out the other things as time, and your priority tasks allow.

I’ve been behind on these updates, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been getting after it. Had some good days, including a 32 mi ride where I felt good through the whole thing and finished feeling solid.

There were also some not so great days like the Green Mountain climb repeats where I was planning on getting 8 in, but the heat wrecked me, and I only finished 5. I was not ready for that kind of work in 90 degree heat and ALL the sun. It’s been a while since I’ve crushed a full hydration bladder.

Lifting is backing off a bit more, very much in maintenance mode there. The running has also dropped off significantly during this last month leading up to the race. Looking forward to hitting them both again next month!
