At this time next week I'll be in Albany, NY enroute to Lake Placid! I can't believe we are 10 days away from the big race. Training is winding down and extra rest/sleep is ramping up which I thoroughly enjoy. I'm starting to organize all of my food, transition bags, and everything that will head up to Lake Placid with me. I think organizing everything is one of my favorite parts. I can't tell you how excited I got about a box of 2 1/2 gallon zip lock bags and how well they organize all of my stuff. It's the little things...
We have a light training weekend coming up and then on Monday I drop off my bike and transition bag so that it can be taken up to Lake Placid by the Bike Sherpa people. This is a company that has special trucks that they rack your bike in and then they drive it up to Lake Placid. The great thing about this is that they don't disassemble your bike and you don't have to worry about an airline loosing it or some stupid baggage handler smashing it. The other great thing is that you pick your bike up from them before the race and then when the race is over on Sunday you just give it back to them and they bring it back to Nashville. Definitley worth the $250!
I tried out a pair of compression sleeves this weekend on our 12 mile run and they were fantastic! They look a little stupid but they work great. They are black and go around my calves. They kinda look like really tight leg warmers. The purpose is to direct more blood flow to your legs so that your muscles don't fatigue as fast and hurt as bad. I do think they look better than the compression socks which are usually white knee-high socks...cute.
Until next time....I'll be organizing. :)
