Well over the past few weeks I have managed to go overboard on my training. It all came to a head this last Saturday at the Stony Creek Heat Miser Marathon. What was suppose to be a fifty mile race for me turned into 27 miles and be dropping out.
My body had been stress with a lot of fatigue built up to the point that at the race I had no power or stamina. I could feel it coming on after doing the Potato Creek Time Trial the week before. Even though I placed 5th at Potato Creek I could feel that I was loosing power on the second of two 7 mile laps for the TT.
I have raced in 8 races over the past 10 weeks, and I am what my coach calls over-reaching. So, this week I will probably on get on the bike only once before I head to Boyne Mountain for the Boyne Marathon, this is another longer race, about 44 miles.
Maybe I will take a day and go the the beech with my kids!!! Sound like a plan.
