Well, it’s been another month.  And I can honestly say, I didn’t posted because I have been spending soo much time training.  Which is good…because the race is just 2 weeks away.  The race is just 2 weeks away and I have a goal marathon after that in November.  But, I’m already thinking “What’s next?”

And I need to reign that in because so much of what will be next will be determined on September 30 at Augusta 70.3.

I’m happy (mostly) with my last 3 week build cycle, save the cold I caught during the last week that kept me out of my long ride and long run that week.  But, I was worn the heck out after those weeks.  And it felt good to be so worn out.  I was hitting almost all of my workouts (something that hasn’t happened…well…ever).  But since that stretch, I’ve had a recovery week and a peak week (less volume more intensity) and I’m already feeling the taper tantrums.  One more peak week (only 6 hours of training!) and then taper week…but shit, I don’t know if I can make it.  I already feel gross and sluggish.  I hate taper time.
