It's a funny feeling. Life is so damn busy lately that I am stressed beyond belief. In disbelief that less than 2 weeks separate me and the hilliest race of my life. When I talk to people about it they just laugh because they have seen the elevation for the bike haha.
Work has never been this busy. We are waiting on hiring another engineer to see how work goes over the summer... which means that between the 2 full time structural guys here... we are doing 1.5 people's work. What does that mean? 1.5 times as many people yelling at me on a daily basis haha.
It's not easy to take off days of work for me. I hate leaving knowing there is shit going on that needs to be handled... I like to leave work and leave it behind me. Hoping I am able to do this next week.
As for training. I feel great. Legs are hardening up nicely in the quads... a sure sign that I am actually getting hill work in :) I haven't had nice defined quads like this since college XC where we did more than enough hill repeats... sigh.
My body is funny, when I want to either bike, run, or swim, I have KICK ASS workouts. I swam consistently last week at 1:28/100yds. This week, not so much haha. Could have been arms/shoulders are still sore from mulching all day Saturday, not sure. But when I am on and I am running, it's effortless. Same w/ biking.
Last night I biked easy and actually could tell where my legs were. They are about trashed haha. I need to figure out what I am doing for taper now. I get rid of Smurf on Thursday for the long trip to California, a week and a half w/out my bike prior to a big race? Shitting giant bricks right now.
Starting to get real for me now. I have a few doubts in my No Plan - Plan. But I am posting great splits so race day will be the only deciding factor now whether to get a structured plan together or keep making up my workouts 5 minutes before I workout.
Thanks for reading!

Yeah, baby! 2 weeks left! That's awesome, and you're going to be awesome in the race too. No worries, because it sounds like you're ready. Just enjoy that taper and kick some booty!
You ended the title of this post with a preposition. NEVER END A SENTENCE WITH A PREPOSITION!!!
A correction would be, "Not sure where I am at, Asshole."
Wow. I see the grammar police is out in full force today.
We are in the same holding pattern for hiring another developer so I know all about the 1.5x amount of work. It sucks. Not getting paid 1.5x blows.
You are going to do great at Wildflower. No worries.
When haven't you shit giant bricks? Aren't you the guy that ALWAYS has to flush twice???? hahaha

You're sounding like yourself to me! And that must mean a good race is up ahead.
Anytime I am confused by my location I click on the google maps app on the iPhone. Make sure the GPS is turned on and "Boom!" your location is revealed within 3 meters (-:
Wow, who knew Jon was an english teacher on the side, epic
Its funny how the body works, so days its on top of the world, other days it just doesnt want to start up
You are ready for Wildflower dude. No doubt.
And how does the No Plan-Plan have a taper built in? Shouldn't you just be saying...nope not going hard today instead of planning out the taper? I am so confused by the No Plan - Plan to Taper Plan.....haha!
