Race Prep

Tomorrow is the big day. I have two mini workouts today, a 20 minute bike and a 15 minute run.

Ride
: 5mins easy, 10mins at race pace, 5mins easy
Run: 5mins easy, 5mins race pace, 5mins easy

I decided that, since I live up a five-story walk-up, I should just pop the bike on the trainer for the ride... which turned out to be harder than expected, since there is not respite on the trainer. You ride. Keeping my heart rate up wasn't hard, it was keeping my effort up that I found difficult.

I set up all of my gear so that I could do a relatively quick transition into the run and head right out the door once I finished my ride. I would have begun right away, but Garmin's satellites are never quite sure where I am. I ran up the equestrian trail to warm up and back down the road on the flat for the race pace section, then cooled down around my favorite park area, the Sheep Meadow. Decent data. I'm ready for tomorrow!
