I was just wondering how you train the week before a b/c race? It will be my first race so I don't want to be burnt out going into it. I didn't know I was going to be able to make this race so I just finished a little recovery period yesterday. I dropped(raised?) my TSB from -50 to -15.9. Should I go hard sun/mon and then recover z2ish tues/wed/thurs? Go hard sun/mon/tues recover wed/thurs and friday recover with some race like intervals (race is sat)? I'm not worried about getting dropped because of lack of fitness I just don't want to get dropped because of too much fatigue (I can control that at least).

I read the stickied posts, but they were mainly about race day tips. I'm not positive on training peaks numbers, but my TSB seemed really low. If thats the case I haven't done an outdoor FTP test so that may be why.

TL;DR: What #'s indicate your rested enough for a b/c race? TSB or some other number? I know thats not perfect and it depends on the person, but its the advice I'm willing to pay for right now
