Yesterday morning I did the strength routine for the last time before I race next Saturday. I think I've made some nice gains in the strength department in the last month, but my arms are feeling stressed and I hope they'll have a chance to heal up a little ahead of race day.
After that I headed down to the river and did a relaxed, mostly-easy 50-minute paddle. There was no barge traffic and the river was calm.
Today I went out and did eight 12-stroke sprints at two-minute intervals. I did them out on the Mississippi, since that's where I'll be racing Saturday.
I'm feeling a little bit better than I did late last week. The allergies continue to annoy a little, but the vision issues seem to have abated. Hopefully my trip to the eye doctor tomorrow will involve nothing more than a routine exam.
