Race Week

Race week is finally here! I'm ready, rested, and ready to get this thing done! Did I mention I'm ready? I'm into the period where I can't possibly gain any fitness, so it's just a matter of finishing my taper and taking it easy all week. Of course, school being school, I've got two lab finals and an organic chemistry test this week, so it's hardly stress free. That said, I feel strangely relaxed and ready. For all of it. I've got three brick workouts left, then race morning! I'm really just ready to start already. I don't want anymore prep. My whole year has been moving towards this race. I know what I need to do, and I feel good. No worries. I'm just going to go out and treat it like a long training day, not take it too hard, and hit my target wattage. My target watts for the majority of the bike are 215, with my do not exceed level around 250. There's only one hill on the three lap course, and it's only about 2-3% for a couple miles, nothing compared to what's around the big CO. My goal is really just to be as fresh off the bike as possible. Then to survive the marathon. It won't be fun, the marathon. But it will be the end. I'm really looking forward to that finish line!
