T-1: Race Week

So I did my final walk before the big day tomorrow.  Just over 450 miles for this training session, missed one short run.  Not bad.

I definitely feel like I was more prepared last year.  Training started in a heat wave and ended in a cold snap.  Tomorrow’s temps range from high 30’s to 50F.

I also had a mega project going on the entire time at work and didn’t get a heck of a lot of sleep.  I know the training was not as good as it could be and stamina was a concern during the long runs.  Optimistically, I can hope the extra toughness from work will make tomorrow seem like a breeze, but I’m equally worried it stunted the training.

We’ll see tomorrow!  Got to get up at 4AM to a 10AM start.
