Birkie is days away now and I'm feelin pretty good.
I've been training an average of 20 km 3x/wk which I think was good volume for me.
I will be tapering into the next 8-10 days and doing one more 60 minutes at birkie pace.
I am drinking more water and less bad things and haven't had a chew (tobacco) in 40 days now. The ball is rolling for the spring slimdown.
