A Cleaner Diane

A few thoughts on competition prep: I've entered a lot of competitions this year, and am starting to understand what prep routine my body responds to best. The week leading up to an event, I don't really like to hold back too much. Part of it is mental, of course, but the reality is I am young and active, and taking more than 1-2 days rest really throws me off. My intensity and tank at competitions is derived partly from the fact that I've taught my body to heal faster. Granted, I often take quite a few days off after a competition, in the days leading up to a comp I prefer not to take more than 1-2 days off. That being said, I have my first Strongman competition in 48 hours. I want to do some work today, but attempt to go at ~80%. Most competitive athletes know how hard it is to not go all out every time, but it is a skill I'm attempting to acquire. Key word: attempting.
