Yeah, bummed about this one too. Not sure what to think lately. Holding 11.5 for any length of time is very challenging right now. Today I didn't even attempt and bailed early. Last month, I seemed to be able to hold it almost at will. Much different now. Not exactly sure why. Doesn't bode well for my confidence going into SGM. Training load (running/bike) is relatively similar to what its been. Sure, now I'm a couple weeks on the back side of Pocatello Marathon (~3 weeks ago) and LoToJa (~2 weeks ago). Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe its just because I'm getting old! I know there's a combination of a lot of things that could be playing into it. I've been doing about the same training/racing schedule that I did two years ago and was able to bounce back to more quality workouts sooner than I am now. Oh well. Is what it is. Going to try to resist the urge to do too much from here on out since there's only two weeks left.
Sorry for the downer attitude today.
