Racing the Patch Sprint. Total Mileage: 39.5mi
Elevation Gain: 4400'
Cross-Training: 2mi
Goal: Taper and race Patch Sprint on Saturday.
There's not much to say about tapering: I based each day's workout on feel and ended up running a little less than I'd planned but I guess it went well because I felt great on race day. I'll let my Patch Sprint race report speak for the rest of this week.
Looking Ahead: My next race is the Wakely Dam ultra on July 27th. It's 32 miles, so I need to start increasing the length of my long runs and continue to put in moderately high weekly mileage. June is a very busy month for me and it will be difficult to run as much as I'd like--this will be my biggest challenge in the next few weeks. A 10-day backpacking trip later in the month will offer great cross-training but no running. I hope to get some quality workouts in before the trip.
