This week I focused on getting over my cold and resting the knee. I was back in Minot for the last portion of the week so it was great to relax and catch up with family. I know all this rest and lack of altitude and vertical in my training will have some detrimental effect on my training, but I can live with it. Just need to show up at the starting line healthy. I figure the first half of the race will be about fitness, with the second half being about stubbornness. I know I have stubbornness down... we'll see about the fitness part.
