I think that the hardest workout of the year is does not come a couple weeks before the race. I think it's the annual first day of yard work each spring.
Yesterday was the big event and I raked and pulled and chopped out some weeds, rocks and pieces of wood from our back yard. To top it off, it was hot and I was wearing sweats to keep off the bugs and thorns from the bushes. I was sopping wet within a few minutes. I came closer to dehydrating by pulling weeds than I did doing the hour and a half bike ride I did that morning.
I find that no matter how good of shape you're in, you still hurt after a hard day of yard work – particularly the first one of the spring season.
