tapering
i did my last training ride yesterday. not a hard ride. just under 30 miles at island lake at an endurance pace. i felt good. the legs felt pretty good. no more rides until the race. i'll probably do a quick, easy spin on the trainer tomorrow night and nothing on friday. i just want to make sure the gas tank is full for saturday. i'm gonna need it.
the weather isn't looking all that great either. blah. it's raining pretty hard out right now and it's gonna be on and off showers for like the next 5 days. saturday they're calling for light showers and highs only in the mid-50s. i'll have to get some toe warmers because my feet are always cold!
i wasn't too nervous about this race but there's been quite a bit of talk about it the last couple of days so the pre-race jitters are settling in. i even dreamt about the race the past two nights. i don't know what to expect. i don't know how my body is going to react beyond 6 hrs. i'm going to race my own race and have fun doing it. i'm going to do everything i can to squeak out an additonal lap even when my body tells me no.
don't stop believin'...
i'm not a journey fan...honest.
