My humble pie walk Sunday did not work out as planned. The first two hours were perfect and just ahead of my Centurion race pace. I fought stomach issues for the remainder of the workout. That made me slower and weaker every hour. I gutted it out to seven hours. Pulling the plug right on my intended race pace average 13:25. Still a good workout. Achieved the intent of the walk. Left me humbled. In fact this whole week has been humbling. Very hard to follow up the best week ever with back to back best weeks. No matter how well you train. No matter how well you race. You are still going to need some luck to become a Centurion. We use Training to prepare for the race. As to Illness and weather you are going to need some outside help. You are going to need to get Lucky. Now starts my favorite part of Centurion training. The gradual Taper. Taper is the time we start reducing the mileage. The goal is to maintain the fitness gain I worked so hard for. Arrive at the race with rested legs. After this week I need a good positive taper.
