Peak Week

I am one week and two days out from racing at Boise!!! I really should be keeping better track of my training so that I can adjust it for the next race. Here is a go at the last couple of weeks.

Peak 1
I am starting to reduce my hours and do a race paced/imitation workout every 72-96 hours. Over the weekend I did a long ride (67 miles) with the GAS team. The ride wasn't particularly hard, but we did push it up the hills and I was pretty pooped at the end.
Mon. Swam and ran on the treadmill since it was raining. Ran pretty hard. Some 7:30 minute pace miles.
Tues. Tuesdnight Crit. I go dropped on the first lap, but rode hard the rest of the race. My legs were tired and I didn't have the get up and go. More recovery!!??
Wed. Swam
Thursday Went on the GAS ride. Got dropped in the first few minutes. Rode with Anna for the rest of the ride. Went and did circles on the crit course. Went home and did a 15 minute run. My legs were toast.
Fri. Drove to Spokane for the 24 hr race.
Sat. Biked very easy for 2.5-3hrs with Kodie
Sun. Ran very easy on the race course and took pictures. 2-3 hours.

Peak Week 2
Monday: Huge run. Started at M and over to Sypes. Down Sypes and over to the M on the road. Total time 2:30. Great hard run.
Tues. Easy swim
Wed. Easy spin on bike with Anna
Thursday: Race effort swim (2000m) in pool and quickly changed and got onto bike. Rode 1:30 up Triple Tree with lots of hills.
More to follow.... My plan is to take Friday and Sat. really easy. Then race at Cow Country on Sunday. I will follow the race with a swim in a lake up there. Haven't used my new wetsuit yet.
Then I will take Monday off and basically do some short hard efforts Tuesday and Wed. with Thursday completely off . Friday 30 min. bike and 15 min. run then rest. Then race day. Yeah!!
