This past week was used to recover from the race in Racine. I did some easy rides and runs early in week, and capped it all off with a "one-loop" weekend: Once around the bike loop, and once around the run loop.
The conclusion of Week 27 marks the end of July and the beginning of the end. Weeks 28, 29 & 30 will be my hardest, longest weeks of training. I will try to cram as much mileage in as possible. The thought is that I will break down my muscles such that after the three weeks, they will rebuild stronger than before, just in time for The Big Day. After that, there's three weeks of rest & taper (rebuilding), the race, and that's it!
