Another good month in both the training and in racing this month but I do feel like I am flirting with burn out so I have to keep an eye on that.
Here is how the numbers shook out. You can click on the photo to enlarge it.
Not quite where I wanted to be mileage and vertical wise but that is ok. I even took off 2 days of this month and a bunch of short days just to make sure that I don't go over that
so called "line" which I feel like I am flirting with due to all the shorter faster races the past 2-3 months.
Positives of the month- Got in 2 races listed below and I also got in 2
14er summits.
I also got 5 new Breweries this month.
Avalanche Brewery (Silverton)
Ouray Brewery (Ouray)
Ourayle House aka "Mr. Grumpy Pants" (Ouray)*
Mountain Sun (Boulder)*
Big Choice Brewery (Broomfield)
So overall I it was just an ok month and I seem to be stalling in my fitness a little. Not much I can do about that now. I am actually thinking that I might start an early taper for Pikes. I will decided that based on how my runs go this weekend.
Next up- Pikes Peak Double. This is going to hurt.
Solid month. Enjoy the double. Best thing to think about is anything but doing the double.
ReplyDeleteWish it was a little bit more solid so I felt better about the upcoming Double. I did have a time goal in mind but think I will just throw that out the window and just go have fun.
