Ouachita Challenge prep

Counting the days now until the first individual race of the year. Next weekend in the Ouachita Challenge in Arkansas....and all the riding leading up to this event is prep. Today I was supposed to be on singletrack...but as you can see, the snow from the other day will be sticking around for a few more days. So, I still headed out on the mtb to get in a 2.5 hour ride. With in that 2.5 hour ride was a 1 hour effort at what will be my OC race pace. Wasn't able to work on the tech skills, but I was able to simulate the climbing that the OC will throw at those racing.

Up, down. Up, down. Stick the HR just below the redline and go. Tomorrow is a similar ride. Heading back out on the mtb on the road for a 2.5 hour endurance tempo. Just need to keep the system stimulated.
