Feeling over my jet lag and tiredness

Tomorrow I will start a training bloc for the Mammoth Trail Festival VK. The Dragon Ascent race will be on September 19. The focus of training will be on run/hike vertical (between 3-500' per kilometer) and strength sessions. Once I travel out west on September 9th it will shift to easy acclimatization runs.

The past week has been - perhaps - the lowest volume and vertical of the new training year.
I managed just under 11 hours, with 194k (88k bike and 16k run) on almost 2600' vertical. Not too surprising given a long tiring travel day, non-stop schmoozing at the alumni reunion, and some low key outings with Mark.
