Su: rest day
two things that i'm nervous about:
1) 16mi run this Sunday. the 13.1 last weekend just about killed me. doing 3 more miles, on just as tired legs??? scurrrred. will try out my IRONMAN 9/1 run/walk plan, and report back.
2) doing 'New England's Toughest Century.' doing 'New England's Toughest Century' on a tri bike. have i mentioned i'm a ninny when it comes to descending/going fast? scurrrrred.
anyone have experience doing mountain descents? any tips or tricks to help keep me on the road and/or alive?
I hear ya on the running! I'm struggling with getting those super long runs in. You're going to do great at Tin Mountain. That'll be awesome training for Louisville's hills. Just take your time. A fall at this point would be pretty tough on the training. Keep up the good work!
