Dialing it back a bit...

So I am changing things up a bit. I was planning on heading out for the Palomar Challenge tomorrow. It looks like a killer time and it would for sure testing my climbing legs, but I am tired. Racing the last two weekends in a row and the big weeks that preceeded took quite a bit out of me. Last weeks race was a tough one and it took longer to recover from than I anticipated.

Palomar Challenge route:



Next week begins my specific build up to Tahoe and Maui. There will be more Xterra/race specific intervals and workouts so I need to be sure I get off to a good start. The last thing I want to do is crush myself this weekend and have half-assed workouts next week while I am trying to recover. So this weekend I will still be getting in the ocean, out on the roads and trails, but not pushing too hard. I am just going to kind of relax, drink some beers, bbq, watch some baseball, and get ready to hit it hard next week.





That's it...
