Smells and Bells

With 14 days to go the key now is to maximize training time and not incur an injury.  Today a call for an MVA early this morning created an early start for the day.  The call was a "smells and bells" so we were back in short order.  (smells and bells: firefighting lingo for a call that yields no real work but a ride with lights and siren)

Training this morning was 30 minutes on the stationary bike, hill climb, level 12.  Then speed work on the stair mill.  4 sets of 20 floors at 90 steps/min.

Legs felt very good and I can feel/see an improvement in my cardio recovery from two weeks ago.  Clearly making good progress.

Brian and I plan to do a full gear practice run later this week, likely Thursday.

One other important thing to avoid between now and the climb.  Avoid getting sick.  Getting sick could really put a damper on this adventure.  Honestly I have been avoiding travel and even not going out too much to public places.  While I haven't become a germ-a-phobic,  it is getting close. 

See you at the at the Top!
