Pre -Race Update

Long run on the bike path and roads today - first time off the trails for my long run in over 3 weeks. The Catoctin Trail has been beating me up of late and thought the road would be a nice break. It wasn't - heat and humidity sucked the steam out of my legs. Over 20 for the day but worked for every mile of it. It's time to taper - 3 weeks out for CAT and no real recovery time since 53+ on the Mohican Trail 3 weeks ago. This week will be a little more about intensity than miles and then 2 weeks of lots of rest. Not feeling as confident going into CAT this year as I was last but I think my legs can bounce back and be fairly strong come race day. Anyway just a little pre-race update. Thanks for reading!

Peace,
Eric
