If there's anything I regret in my training, it's not taking more step back weeks to recover and let my muscles build back up. When I hammer too many weeks in a row, I get slower and injured. So, I took it down a few notches last week, even though it felt one week too early for Ray Miller 50k.

I think you'll find an extra little kick in your step since you've taken it a little easier in the last couple weeks before our race this Saturday.

It's going to be an exciting race! I think I'll post my predictions later today.
