What a glorious down week that lined up perfectly with the sap run for making maple syrup. I am feeling the best I have since starting to train in January and am looking forward to my final week of big miles this upcoming weekend. The thaw is on which means we are in the midst of mud season. The snowmobile trails are still a mix of ice and deep mud, so I am still stuck on the roads for my 35 miler and 20 miler this weekend. Endurance wise I should be in pretty decent shape for the first week of May for the North Face Bear Mountain 50 miler, but I guess I will see how my leg strength is doing after not being able to run huge vertical gains yet. Bear Mtn will be a good test against some of the best ultra runners in North America and a good test to see where I stand physically in my preparation for the VT100 in July.
Since I had fewer miles this week and not a ton of elevation gain my workouts were a bit faster this week.
