12.5 weeks till Lodi!!

It just so happens that Lodi is 13 weeks away. I decided to take this week (Sunday through Friday) as a rest week because I felt myself getting sick this weekend, probably from a lack of sleep. Since this weekend I'll officially have twelve weeks till Lodi, I need to determine a specific training plan to lead me up to and through the whole race. 12 hours on my bike is a long time and I'm not ready for it, not yet.

I'm contemplating purchasing a training plan form LW coaching, but I'm not sure I want to pony up that cash for the plan and for a heart rate monitor. The nice thing about the 12 week plan is that I can use it for my 12 hour, then take a month and half and do intensity work (increase power and lactate threshold) and start the plan again 12 weeks out from the SM 100. but the same money I could spend on her plan I could use on new riding shoes that are literally molded to your feet.

Ahhh decisions!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to include this picture below. This was taken right before our race this weekend. Me and Matt K:
