Speaking of Greenland 50k it did not go quite as planned. The goal was to just jog the whole thing with very little walking. I figured that would be a good goal since the last 2 50k's that I have ran this year I did a bunch of walking due to walking with JT, steep hills, issues, ect. Well about mile 27 issues started popping up again, yes my famous glass stomach issues. Every time I started jogging my core cramped and I puked, even downhill. Now I could have pushed it the last 3 miles and put myself into a deep hole for the next few days but decided since this was supposed to be a "training" run I would just walk it in and live to train another day. Walked the last 3 miles in about 43 minutes and still finished in 5:02 which is a PR for me on that course. When I got done, I went to the car and chugged a big bottle of Gatorade and laid down for a bit. 30 minutes later I was fine. Yep, once again I did not drink enough. Thought I did but nope. Oh well, lesson learned again for the 100th time.
As I was looking at my weekly volume this week I started wondering where am I year to date? What have I done since Jan 1st when I signed up for Leadman? So I ran that report from the training log. Should be interesting to see what the total numbers are come taper time in Aug. I don't plan on really tapering for the first events of the series, maybe a mini taper for the 50 ride and run in July. The real taper will start around Aug 1st.
This week is suppose to be a "recovery" week but I am really not sure how to approach this once again. I have been messing up my "recovery" weeks the last couple of times. I do have a 60 mile MTB race this Saturday which will throw a wrench in the week. Any suggestions? I am all ears.
Have a great week everyone!
