this is going somewhere..isn't it?

This week of training kicked my butt. No, it wasn't 30 hours, or even 20 hours..uh..it wasn't even 15 hours. It was a measly 11 hours and 20 minutes according to my training log. But, none the less..I am worked. Coach said I would be tired today, and I was. The last two days were hard rides and last night was a party at our office with the employees of Big Peach Running Co. in Georgia. The turnout was great and it was a great event for everyone including GA Sports Chiropractic, GA Sports Massage, Continuum Sports Solutions, and 55nine Performance. However, the after-party lasted a little too long for such a hard week of training. Oh well! We went up to pre-ride some of the Cohutta 65/100 course today. I really want to do the 100 but I know that I'm not fit enough to do well at racing 100 miles just yet. So, I'm going to settle for the "shorty". There is nothing wrong with that, though, since my very good friend is coming down to also race the "shorty" and that means we get to actually hang out after the race...YEAH! I am more excited about that than the actual race itself :-) Since 24 hour Nationals at Big Bear got canceled, I have finally picked at least one "A" race of the year and it will be in the mid-to-late summer. Hopefully this new type of training (less hours, more focus) and these races like Ouachita, Warrior Creek, and Cohutta will get me where I want to be by then!

Tomorrow is a well-earned rest day, LONG school day (Ugggggh...3..more..weeks) and then I'm counting the days until Sea Otter!
