PicturePresi Traverse Elevation Profile
Total Mileage: 64.5mi + 8mi Hiking
Elevation Gain: 11,600' + 3,500' Hiking
Cross-Training: None
Goal: Was mileage, changed to Presi Traverse FKT

 I'm catching up on two weekly recaps that I haven't written yet due to vacation and time spent on the Presi Traverse race report. This week started out as a normal high-mileage training week, and I did my typical Tuesday tempo run, but changed things around on Thursday when I decided to go for the Presi Traverse.

Monday: 7mi steady pace on 9N.
Tuesday: 14mi on 9N with 9mi tempo at marathon pace.
Wednesday: 3mi easy on the AuSable Lake Rd, then an 8mi hike with ATIS up the Nippletop slide (at a very slow pace).
Thursday: 8mi on South Meadow Rd & Marcy Dam truck road.
Friday: Off to rest up for Presi Traverse and drive to NH.
Saturday: 2mi warmup, then 18.5mi Presi Traverse at race pace (fastest known time).
Sunday: 12mi easy at the Gunstock XC trails.

I felt great after the Presi Traverse and assumed I could do another long run Sunday (I hoped for three hours), but was very tired during the run at Gunstock and ended up cutting it to two hours. I guess the Presi Traverse took more out of me than I had thought.

Looking Ahead: I planned to get right back into high-mileage, with a five-day vacation in Maine offering a good opportunity to hit the roads every day. It didn't exactly pan out that way...
