Race Weekend 👎

I was originally supposed to head out to San Francisco for the SFRC Women’s Trail Half, but lately it’s been taking a lot more effort to get excited about it than it should.

Honestly, I’m way more excited about next year’s races than anything right now. After being injured around this time the last few years, I’ve felt this pressure to fit in as many races as I can while I’m healthy. But I’m realising that’s not a good enough reason to race.

The last two years have followed the same pattern: a high at Broken Arrow, then CCC falling apart in August. Before my first major injury at the end of 2024, I felt relatively consistent, and lately racing has felt more like a washing machine. I’m not in that place this year, but I want to get back to showing up to races feeling steady and ready, versus like I’m rolling into them off of rushed fumes.

I’m still planning to be at UTMB Pacific Trails, because guess what? When you’re injured most of the year, you still need to squeeze in a UTMB qualifier, especially when your UTMB index keeps taking a hit from all the missed racing.🥲

I feel really good about this decision. These past couple of months I’ve been focusing more on being with my people, and that’s been giving me so much strength and energy. I’ll take the next few weeks to get some longer runs in so I’m ready to punch my UTMB ticket. ✨

Lately I’ve been enjoying a longer fall than expected here on the east side. While the temps are slowly starting to drop, I’m enjoying the snow free trails, because they will begin to get covered here real soon. 👀

Evening ride, thousand burn already in the bank.

Day 31/49.

Partway through an easy evening Peloton ride and the rings are closed. Move 1,093 of 1,000. Exercise 125 of 60. Stand 13 of 12. The ride is sitting at 151 calories with 28 minutes still to go, which puts today’s total burn somewhere around 1,300 to 1,400. That lands me right where the deficit needs to be. The ride is easy on purpose. Zone 1 to 2, blood moving, glycogen topped off for tomorrow’s fasted session. Just the last box checked.

Tomorrow is a big day on The Pathway to Peak Performance. Part two of my conversation with Saima Firdous, MD drops, and we are back in the studio filming with Kyla Channell, MS of Nutrition Revolution.

Search The Pathway to Peak Performance on YouTube.

Q: Why an easy evening ride?
A: It closes the gap on my daily 1,000 active calorie target and primes muscle glycogen for the next morning’s fasted lift. That is what works for me. What you do with your training is up to you, and talk to your provider team first.

Have an outstanding evening.#peakperformance

BREAKING: the ferritin floor just doubled. 🙌

For 30 years my labs said normal at a ferritin of 7 to 18. They were wrong. Iron deficiency is shockingly common in women and teenage girls, and it causes real symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, feeling winded doing things that should be easy. ASH just raised the diagnostic threshold, which means faster answers and faster treatment for way more women.

I didn’t get an effective treatment for my own iron deficiency until I was 45 (iron infusions worked for me) and part of that was the established ranges for one of the markers of deficiency- ferritin - were way too low.

Have any of these symptoms? Talk to your doctor. Get the tests. Advocate for infusions of the other treatments don’t work.

What a community at the 2nd North Creek marathon MTB endurance race 🚵🚵‍♂️🚵🏿‍♀️ Congrats to the category winners and all of the riders. A small but punchy field was led by some super strong riders but everyone supported each other up the climbs and even to the line before the time cutoffs! The pit vibe was amazing all day🙌 Huge shout outs to all our amazing sponsors and partners like Nutritional Revolution, CDPHP, Hammer Nutrition. Of course UHTA, ORDA, Gore Ski Patrol, Tannery Pond Center, and the Town of Johnsburg. We couldn’t put this on without everyone behind us. Special fist bump to Felicia of Inside Bike Shop who when not providing neutral support and amazing prizes kept the cowbells ringing 👊 Thx Brian of Underdog Race Timing for again watching the clock and providing the music. You are a pro! And how about the impressive ride of 14 year old Jonah DiBari! He’s what Unify Cycling is all about. Us. Together. By Bike.

Pulse Check 👌

Time to trade dry trails, talus, and altitude for wet roots, technical terrain, and humidity.

I’m headed to @ragged75and50k this weekend to race the 50K. Coming off a few big training weeks, we’re not heading into this one fully rested, so I’m excited to spin the legs a little faster and get a small pulse check on where the fitness is. More than anything, I’m looking forward to learning what racing in humidity feels like before heading to Europe. Hopefully, it’s the kind of effort that adds a little spark as I enter the final phase of my CCC build.

When it came to picking a race to break up the training block, this one landed at the perfect time. It gave me enough room to put together a solid block beforehand and still have time for one more after, before I head to Europe for the biggest, baddest 100K in the world.

Additionally from everything I’ve heard, Ragged is a very tough course, which is exactly what I was looking for. 😤😮‍💨It’s been a few years since I’ve raced on the East (Beast 👾) Coast, and some of the most technical terrain in the U.S. lives out there. Overall it seems like the kind of race that will put some grit in your soul when all is said and done.

Thanks @nutritionalrevolution for the fueling plan for race day. I’ll be drinking @never.second C90 all day 👌
