Four more weeks
After hearing about the horrid conditions at IMCDA on Sunday, Pam's report of her Lake Placid training adventure where she got blown off her bike - twice, and not being able to find my cycling legs yet, I think it is safe to say I am a little nervous!
I know I need to believe - and I do think my confidence is somewhere buried deep down inside... somewhere... just wish I could find it right now.
Well, I'm going to have to find it soon because, this is it - one last big push before I taper. Time to make sure my mental training has caught up to my miles.

hey beth - i know you totally have it within you! you are a great athlete with several years of hard work behind you including a great endurance base, the speediness you picked up last year, and lots of experience to know where to push yourself and where to go easy - you did ashland under some tough conditions and still managed to do really well - if possible this coming weekend, maybe take a nice ride out to wachusett - it's beautiful out that way - and do the long climb up 62 through princeton center and then end going up wachusett - do it slow and steady, but just try to finish it - i think that it is somewhat comparable to the climb back up to lake placid, as a matter of fact, the last part of the climb up the "feed zone" in princeton center is harder so once you do that, you'll totally be set for placid :)
