*I think all you can ask for when you train for this Sport is that when the Open rolls around you are as healthy as possible. I know the program has been on point as this is the healthiest I have been in years as far as aches/pains go. My diet is going on 175 days strong and the UC piece is controlled thru my nutrition which is now a non-issue. Going on 6 months with no sugar and no whey/dairy has been amazing for my recovery. Excited to test this out during the Open and see how my body recovers compared to years past. All the pieces that I can control, I have. Everything related to the workouts are out of my control and I am really not that worried about them. Nothing is going to change between now and Friday night as far as my fitness. I got what I got. I have realistic expectations and I think that makes this season much less stressful than previous years. I know that I am the fittest I have been since I started competing over 5+ years ago. At 34, I know that my age won't have anything to do with whether or not I make it to Regionals and beyond. Should be a fun 5 weeks and it will be good to see some of the work over the years pay off for me.
