________________________________________________________*

Welcome to Week 10. We are officially into taper week with the last full week of  training from the race.

Last week ended with the LONGEST run of the training program (and longest for many of you) that simulated the AFC Race Course. It got a bit warm and it was definitely humid, but everyone did awesome and enjoyed being able to run the course. Now that most of you have done upwards of 12-13-15 miles...the race next weekend will be a breeze and you’ll certainly know A St and 6th St hill very well. ;)

AFC Race Review Clinic Saturday @ Crown Point Coffee

After the run on Saturday, we are going to meet at Crown Point Coffee located at (3510 Ingraham St, San Diego, CA 92109) to review all the details of the race. We will discuss final notes, tips, tricks and the like for the race weekend and race itself. If you can’t make it on Saturday, don’t worry, we will review all of the content again next Tuesday, the week of the race.
