Last day of training for Western States.

Started with a fun group ride with 2 former co-workers. Nothing to strenuous, but also long enough to feel it in my legs.

After a scone and a coffee headed home to change and ran up to the gym.

Spent 45 min in the sauna today. After that I ran home and added a lap in the park. Tried to keep the pace comfortable. Basically what I should do at the beginning of the race.

Felt good even at the end.

Training stops now and it's all about rest and packing from now on.

Run to and from the gym. At the gym I sat in the sauna for 35 min.

A short ride on the trainer at the gym to warm up and try to raise my core temperature.

After that spent 30 minutes sitting in the hot sauna. Temps in there were 90 degrees good for acclimatization training.

First time out on the road bike this year since up until now every opportunity I've had to get out has been focused on running. Nice morning ride, a bit cool, but not so cool that I really had to layer up.

Western update for today.
- 3 ice bandana's have been sewn
- chocolate zucchini bites are baked and taste good and moist
- after trying so many shoe combinations I have decided to go with speed cross for the high country and then my old caldera for the rest of the race.
- I now have a tank top with a lot of holes cut into it and a secret plan with Aubrey about it.
- the temps for race day as of today are 35 so production if the ice cap has been brought up in priority.

Just under 12 days to go
