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!
John
