Next two days are all about getting ready for Chamonix

That said, it was a good week; despite a lot of World Cup spectating - which was awesome - my training log did not suffer too much.

I logged just under 18 hours, on 171k (141k bike and 30k run), with 3425' vertical. I also managed one strength workout this week. Key metrics pointing towards ETC race next year were: 16:06 per kilometer, 115' vertical per kilometer, on terrain graded 3/2 using the Ultrarunner's scale.

FYI …as per the numerical scale, the adjectives for this week's terrain equate to being "hilly" and "groomed". Of course, the key adjectives for the race I am pointing towards are "very hilly" and "a rocky trail". So, I need to up my game!
