Masters Nationals Prep
CTL of 84. To misquote, or paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want."
3 weeks to go, 2nd at Winston Salem -- maybe could have won it, but realistically, just out classed by an Aussie guy. Made the final selection in the kids race, but cramped with 1 to go.
2 weeks to go, won a race off the front (masters) and 2nd in the kids race.
I've normally done a 10-14 day taper, but I'm trying 7 days this year since I'm so undertrained. Just have to make it through 120k, not cramp, and just get a little luck. In my age category, the main player is going to be Peet's from Norcal. They have a huge squad, with big hitters who can just roll it, and the race will be totally out of control if more than 1 of them make a go of it. If it all comes back together, Myerson is a big favorite. If Laberge is fit, he could also finish it off for Peet's--he's as quick or quicker than any Norcal pro.
Best of luck to all going to Augusta. Looks like it will be predictably hot -- 90 degrees + !
