On Sunday we went on our final ride before the High Cascade 100 - that's what these pictures are from (Plains of Abraham) - but they're a little out of order. My wrist is actually feeling the most 'normal' it has so far (which i guess is to be expected as it continually heals!) - so I'm feeling really good about starting the race. I'm still going to need to take it a bit easy and really pay attention to how the rest of my body is feeling - i'm hyper aware that I could easily give myself a different over-use injury at this point since I wasn't able to put in as much ride time in the last 6-weeks as I would have liked - but I feel confident I can honestly self-assess throughout the race, and will pull out if anything feels wonky. I want to be in A+ shape for the Chilcotins! So worst case scenario is that I have to stop part-way through the race, but I'll still have gotten a nice, long training ride in. I'm prepared to have a good time no matter how it turns out. :)
