Right now I am in peak training. I'm in the heaviest part of my training with only 51 days left until race day. Last week I spent approximately 16 hours of training. This week should be a little more. It will continue to ramp up over the next few weeks. Then around November 1, I start to taper down (as they call it). I'll give my body a break and then put it all together on November 15. Right now my training hours do not include the time it takes me to get from one place to another. There are times when I have to drive an hour or more to find an open road to ride for 5 hours. Don't get me started on why I don't like riding around our town. That would be an entire blog post on it's own. The training is going well. Sure I am tired and sore but not as much as I originally thought I would be. The biggest nuisance is just the time it takes to get everything done. I'm thankful for my Coach and her awesome training plan. Without a plan I would be so lost!
Thank you all for the kind notes you have sent me and for asking how my training is going. I had hoped to update once a month on this blog but as you can see that didn't happen.
My family has been completely supportive and I don't know what I would've done if they had not been. They seem to understand that I can't be at every event all the time. Lucky for me, my training is all done during the week and on Saturday). So on Sunday I have some time to spend with them.
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to my Team IMF fundraising page. I met my original goal of $3500 and now I'm shooting for $4000! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
In the meantime if you need anything from me that involves my time, you better meet me at the pool.

Neglect.
