about the PPA

Not sure how to approach this one right now. I don't think I have anywhere near enough time on the mountain to go sub 5hr and I'm really getting comfortable with the current base building phase. I have no idea how much "damage" one hard day well into anaerobic zones would do to the current progress.

On one hand, I could treat it as a "training run" and just focus on keeping my HR low for the entire course and probably squeak in comfortably under the cutoffs.

OR

Treat it like a race and work my ass off to go sub 5.

I probably won't have my mind made up until race day but I'm going to keep plugging along with more distance/time and keep the HR low.
