So close!

Just a 3hour long slow distance ride tomorrow and then we enjoy a rest week. It seems like yesterday that we were doubling up on our rides and drinking all of our calories through our water bottles!
For the time remaining before we take flight to Halifax, we are now concerned with rest and recovery. We are finished with our big training and maintenance is now on the menu. The more rest we can acquire the better. Creating these healthy habits will provide our batteries to be fully charged and will decrease the chance of injury before we leave.
A workout or two per week in the gym is fine. That means, core work, hip stability, flexibility and glute stability. Nothing crazy difficult, nothing high impact and nothing anaerobic. Sounds nice…well, sounds scary because all it means is that the inevitable count down is ticking away and all of us are starting to get a little nervous. No lie. We are all a little nervous now and rightfully so. We are so close, yet so far…so close to starting and yet so far from the over 6000km goal in 9 days.

But when asked, ‘can you do it?’ the answer is always, ‘you betcha!’
