Yep, you read that right. I’m taking a WHOLE WEEK off. Curious to see how long before I go stir crazy. It wasn’t an easy decision, but looking back at my tracking and training diary I’ve noticed a pattern of VERY little sleep – moreso felt it. With just over 11 weeks to go from START, I figured now was a really good time to try to get 7 nights of twelve hours of zzzzz’s to set myself up for our heaviest training yet.

Right now I am on a plane heading East. Worst thing is that I get to look out the window at predicted sunny skies and those roads that roam forever. Good thing I left my bikes at home!!!
