Getting Ready

It seems I'm as ready as I'm going to be.  Having weathered a nasty gastro-bug in the last few days, I'm feeling a bit better.  I had a quiet spin on the trainer this morning and the muscles feel good. 

I've been slowly dragging all my gear together and trying to get my head into the right space.  It feels really different to most tasks I set myself because my preparation is so far out of control.

It's a hard way to deplete but I should be ready to start loading tomorrow.  The gastro has me down to nothing.  I'll do one last 90% hill session tomorrow and that's it.  Lots of stretching/spinning and just keeping my stomach working properly.

I don't mind sharing that I'm scared to death about the Alpine.  I really have no good idea where my fitness is.  While I've got some good times under my belt and my power looks good on paper, I know that I haven't been able to train with the intensity and frequency I need.

I guess I'll just go for it and either fly or crash and burn.  I haven't hated myself yet for having a crack and failing.

Seeya in Bright.
