Focus on the big race

I've decided to pass on the Rivers Edge MTB race this weekend. It was a last minute decision to do the race so why not a last minute one to bag it?

From what I hear it's a really great place to ride some single track but since my goal race is in Oct...AND, I'm just coming of the 18hrs on the farm race, It was really not a wise choice to do it! Better to have another week of easy training and then ramp it back up again for the 12 hr race at Unicoi then to risk an injury! It's happened before so I am being smarter this year...it's about time huh!

So now the training focuses on October 24th and the 12hr race! I'm feeling better about it already!
