I took an unscheduled day off this week. At this point in my race prep it is better to be a little undercooked than overdone. Only two weeks to the New Zealand Centurion. I can’t stop thinking about all the different scenarios that could play out during the race. The only part of the race you have any control over is your training. The weather, surprise problems, the other people, you have no control over. Best to just worry about what you can control. Train hard. Trust that with proper training everything else will fall into place. It is all you can do. Taper continues minus another hour next week.
