Week 21 Summary

Sick this week, boy is also sick, my focus was just on recovering, and getting healthy for ATB. I think it was largely successful -- I would have made my target if I hadn't stopped to pee at 8km. I'm really proud of the pacing in that race: negative split by 4:30. Probably means I took it too easy in the first half.

I also put my carbo loading plan in action the day before: Big breakfast, 4 x 72g maltodextrin sports drink through the day, large pasta dinner. Nutrition through the race was 150g malto + 50mL water + 3 drops vanilla to form a gel. Finished the gel by 2h into the race, washed down with course gatorade/water. Oh, and a half-strip of bacon.
