Week ending may 6

April 30 - May 6 (taper week) (six days until race)

Mon april 30: no run, rest day, work

Tue may 1: no run, work, was supposed to do a 40 km run but I just didnt feel it, my 100 km 3 day weekend caught up to me and I rested instead, well as much rest as work can be. Very glad i didnt run as work was a super hectic day.

Wed may 2: no work, run 6,84 km with 369 metre elev gain in 55 mins. Only about 21 mins of this was real running, the rest was super slow jogging or walking, or standing around checking out scenery

Thur may 3: no work, no run; day of errands and housework

Fri may 4: no run, work

Sat may 5: ran 20.39 km with 440 metre elev gain in 2 hrs 20 mins; slow running, work

Sun may 6: no run, work

I only ran twice. I took the idea of a taper/recovery week too far I think. I just didn't feel like running the first two days, and other things happened, and sunday work kicked my ass and I didn't feel like running after.

I feel mentally and physically prepared for my race in six days. I'm confident in my training plan, my mental plan for the race, my nutrition/hydration plan and I'm stoked and ready to go. Let's hope I'm blessed with a great day. No concern about running 100 km, I just hope I can do it fast and finishing strong and still feel good the next day.
