I kept this on the DL.
I'm racing on Saturday.
My first race of the year was cancelled, and I got all {{sadface}}. I found out the race was cancelled around Feb.
After about a month of thinking that my first race of the year wouldn't be until MAY. MAY! And feeling like I really do need as much practice as I can get.....
I talked to Liz about a race. She sent me an email with two simple words:
DO IT!!!
That race is this weekend. My training volume for sprints/olys tends to be very similar (or more) than your average triathlete's 70.3 training. So, I can go about my training with no one really noticing when I'm training or tapering or having a step back week.
It's actually pretty cool.
I kept the race on the DL for no particular reason. I race sooooo much that (again) most people can't really keep up with my race schedule. My friends who do long stuff, typically do 1-2 races a year. I race 6-8 times in 6-8 months...sometimes more.
Being that it's taper time, I had to send Liz my race plan.
It was succinct.
