Well, while I’ll have one more training recap to post from this cycle, this will be the last training recap that you’ll see before race day! Everything about this week was less than ideal. Besides working a normal day, I’ve done crisis work almost every day, so I’ve worked mostly 12+ hour days (and even worked on the weekends). Some days I’m lucky to just get something random to eat during a typical meal time… so I’m not eating as well as I’d like before a race either. But I’m doing all I can do, and that’s all I can do. Here’s how the week looked:
- Friday (10/17): 1.6 mile run, 45 minutes barre
- Saturday: 40 minutes pilates
- Sunday: 13.5 mile bikeride
- Monday: 25 minutes barre (while teaching class)
- Tuesday: 2.0 mile run, 0.2 mile walk
- Wednesday: REST (Worked 13 hour day)
- Thursday: 1.25 mile walk
Everything feels all wrong about this taper, and I don’t like. But it is what it is…
It doesn’t even feel like race week.
I love you! It’s race week, whether you like it or not 😉 We’ll get through this!
[…] Car isn’t too thrilled with her training cycle, which is unfortunate since she set an early goal at the beginning of the training cycle to PR at this race. We’ve got the first 7 miles together, and now that we’ve convinced (we didn’t have to do much convincing!) Cait to run with us, she’ll have someone to pace her throughout the race. Unfortunately, she’s not super optimistic since this training cycle has been so strange. Everyone make sure you take a second to give her some love! […]
