Tuesday we did spin intervals, last night I did a club ride that was supposed to be 40 miles but was aborted to 25 because we were getting wacked heavy thunderstorms. I got hailed on last night!

9 days until the Whiteface race. My weight was down to 166.4 (1.4 lbs shy of the race weight goal). I think in the next week I can close on that, I don't want to loose any more weight past Wed, I will need to focus on fueling after that. I have lost almost 15 lbs since early April, was worried that dropping that fast would cause me to loose muscle mass as well, but according to my bathroom scale that measures resistance at the hands and feet, the % fat loss has been higher than the % weight loss so that seems not to have happened. Coming off of the century I did Sunday which, for the terrain here was my fastest and the way my riding has been going, I think I am riding stronger than ever before. However I am not looking forward to the race, the physical toll is still fresh in my mind from last year. This AM will be an interval training ride - this weekend will be repeats on Mt Greylock and then into light training rides so that on race day I am fresh and feeling strong. I am almost to the end of this ordeal.
