This was the final big push of training. I am now beginning my taper. The volume will be less but the workouts will be at race pace and more intense. I am now at 168 lbs and my estimated BF % is about 11-12 %. This is right where I wanted to be. I now need to work on maintaining my weight and eating much more cleaner. Here is to hoping that I don't lose any more weight just body fat!
I am learning that with the race getting much closer now that my range of emotions are all over the place. I feel confident that my training will carry me through the race but I sometimes have that "what if" feeling arise. What if this...... what if that....... pre race nerves I know but it is still something that I have to deal with and it isn't easy! It will be nice to get to CDA on the 19th and have friends and family around and get ready for the race. Good times!
I'll be getting my race number issued next Monday so I will let everyone know what it is so if they would like to track me via the internet on race day they will be able to.
Finally, here is a picture of Jake and I at my peak weight of 255. Even I have hard time looking at this picture.
Everyone take care of yourselves because this isn't a dress rehearsal

Dad has a note pasted up that says, "When in doubt, believe". We believe in you and your training.
Love, Mom
