This past Sunday I took my bike out for one last pre-race ride, and less than three miles into it, I got a flat tire. Super -- yet another bike ride cut short by a mechanical problem. This season has just been cursed -- the crash, the busted rear derailleur, and now this. I hate to say it, but at this point I just kind of want it to be over with. I just hope that I don't get another flat tire during the race on Sunday, although in some respects that would be a fitting end to this season. O.K, enough with the pity party -- just had to vent a bit.
So when I got back home, I decided to go for a four mile run instead. I ran it at 7:00 per mile pace, which I was happy with given the fact it was ridiculously humid. I then lifted weights for the first time in a while (chest, triceps, and legs) on Monday, and did a nice easy three mile treadmill run yesterday. I will hit the spin bike tomorrow for a final, risk-free ride, then hit the weights one last time before the race on Sunday. This is probably my final blog entry before the race, so wish me luck!
