You&#8217;d think that I&#8217;d be ready for a rest day like today, but I&#8217;m pretty itchy to be doing something besides laundry and bike wrenching. This week, I&#8217;m gonna cut back a little bit so I can be ready for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisvelo.com\/smith-nephew-marx-bensdorf-gran-prix\/\" target=\"_blank\">Smith &amp; Nephew\/ Marx &amp; Benzdorf Grand Prix<\/a>. I&#8217;ll be picking right back up afterward, though, and let that race start another high volume training week that includes some higher intensity efforts on the bike and a little more running.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all in an effort to ready myself for August. The schedule is looking like this:<\/p>\n<p>8th: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swampstomper.com\/BartlettParkraceInfo.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bartlett Park Ultras<\/a> (probably doing the 50k)<br \/>\n15th: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.55nineperformance.com\/100.html\" target=\"_self\">Fools Gold 50\/100 mile Mountain Bike Race <\/a>(Goal is to be ready for the 100 miler)<br \/>\n22nd: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonkhardracing.com\/races\/berryman_du\/default.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Berryman 6\/12 hour duathlon<\/a> (Um, 12 hour&#8230; duh&#8230;)<br \/>\n29th: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuresprints.com\/locations_and_dates.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Devil&#8217;s Den Sprint Adventure Race<\/a> (gonna seem like just a warm-up after the 3 weekends before it!)<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve got to be well-adapted to performing 12 hours of strenuous physical activity in the heat. It&#8217;s going to be a killer month, but I think I&#8217;ve got a good start on my training base so far. I need to incorporate some longer runs in so that the running during the 1st &amp; 3rd weekends doesn&#8217;t kill me too much.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for Fool&#8217;s Gold and for the Berryman race, Ryan will probably be off road racing, so if anyone wants to go with and fill camelbacks\/kick my butt when I get tired, then shoot me an email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past two weeks have yeilded over 43 hours of training- mostly road riding, but also some running and MTB riding.
