Race Thoughts and Training Log

Todays workout -
1. Foam roller/JS bands/joint mobility
2. Half snatch -@16kg 6:00 95 reps
3. Pushup routine - 20/10/10/10 (reg, close/wide/pike)

Usually start my workous as above but only record it when it's a
more in depth part of my workout (like before a race)

And the taper continues. I always seem to feel worse with the less I do - until the day I race and then I'm thankful for the taper.
No race predictions other than a finish and (hopefully) a smart race. I need to keep in mind it's a training run for a much larger race. Yet I still have some goals and one will be (as always) finish strong and (it would be nice) bring it in as much under 4:30 as I can without sacrificing recovery time. My head (and legs) tell me I have a 3:50 something in me right now. I just don't know how I would feel after racing such an effort and it's too big of a chance right now - I'm relly looking forward to another 50. So I'll take what my legs can give me on race day. It's as much as we can possibly ask.
