Summary: 55 miles, 3x GS
The primary goal this week was to recover the previous eight days' hard training. Went more or less to plan. Tallahassee, run as a tough workout on full volume and tired legs, expectedly left me crushed for a few days. I was glad to still get in a light tuneup/maintenance session Thursday night and to have a good race at USA XC.
