Pretty anemic 10K race effort for me today out on the NSG TT course. Couldn’t get my head into it. Heat, wind, altitude, and short distance- all things that are not really in my wheelhouse. Whatever, I am for some reason completely nonplussed. Today’s effort may relate to Sunday’s race, or it may not. We will find out on race day.
We’re having such an enjoyable time here in Albuquerque. My main task is resting and I’ve been taking that to heart. Sleeping tons, relaxing around the rental house, watching the dog enjoy the yard. The most taxing thing we’ve done (besides me doing race efforts) is go out to lunch. Once. It’s been awesome.
It’s also been such an interesting process to embrace training for a goal that lies outside your strengths. I’ve learned a lot and am really glad I did it. Would even be willing to do it again. But I’m also really looking forward to some big volume riding once I get past NSG, that will be totally delicious.
