Since last Wednesday I have been really busy getting all the logistic stuff ready.
- Finish the sign that will go on the top of the roof of the Tahoe
- Buy food for the ride
- Buy additional lights and reflectors
- Read the rules and learn all stages of the race
- Borrow a nicer bike rack for the truck
- Get an oil change for the Tahoe (and buy a new battery along the way)
- I also got a car wash (so everyone is happy in the way over)
- Bring both bikes to the shop so they are ready (I also needed to fix the front wheel of my Scott due to an almost crash last Saturday)
- Put new computer in my Scott and new lights
- Put the reflectors in my shoes and helmet
- etc, etc, etc
In terms of the training since last Wednesday, I have been tapering a bit.:
- Wednesday pm: 30 min sping + upper body
- Thursday am: I felt sick so I didn't do anything.
- Thursday pm: Swim (master)
- Friday am: 1 hour spin + core
- Saturday am: I did the grinder ride to Mt Madonna in the south bay (about 82 miles), it was hot and we get a bit harder than my usual rides. I also crash ion my way back and I was so thankful that the only damage was a untrue front wheel.
- Sunday am: west alpine loop in my tt bike (the Scott was in the shop)
- Monday am: 1 hour spin + core
- Monday pm: 1 hour massage and team meeting
- Tuesday am: 1 1/2 hour ride
- Tuesday pm: swim (master)
- Wednesday am: nothing , i have been running errands the whole morning.
Here are a few pictures of our (Mike, Jan and I) ride last Sunday
Well that is all for now. I will be packing my clothes today and preparing the truck for tomorrow.
