The last few weeks, I haven't been very good about keeping up on things. Seems like things have gotten very busy, now that we are moving to Lincoln, NE. We have bought a new house and I will be starting a new job with Lincoln Running Company in August.
But more importantly, training is going good for Gravel Worlds (150 miles) in August. Last week was a really solid week on the bike. The 460 miles was the second biggest week I have ever put in and I feel really strong. The key for going into Gravel Worlds is not to overtrain leading up to the race. I am beginning to figure out how my body is responding to the longer races and I know I still have some work to do. I feel more confident this year doing 150 miles of gravel, since last year was my first gravel race I participated in ever. After DK, I know I still have to work on my nutrition & hydration in the race. It is a little frustrating since I feel most of my training rides I don't have any problem at all.
I am also excited to move so that I can ride more consistently on gravel. I know that I am going to miss riding with my teammates and all of the group rides in St. Louis.
