Google about it and found out it's a common term among the runners and other sports.
It means the work has been done, nothing much you can do (to improve the performance), or it just mean hard stuff is over. To some extend, it also mean just relax as all the hard work been completed.
The hay had been cut and stored in the barn.
That sound very nice to me. I can take a little bit off from training, which mean more time and less tired for each day.
However, something else bother me. The left shin is not behaving right since the stride session from week -2. Return to road for a general aerobic and Tues found that the site not fully recover. Spent few days in pool and return to road for 21km run on Sunday - manageable, but still there.
At the time of writing (race week), the feeling of dullness is there. I had literally done one 8km recovery and thought of no run until the race day.
This is a frustration period.
Waiting for departure, with let shin condition unknown, and the race group position unknown (refer to yesterday post).
I realized, each time the more I pay attention to one particular thing, the worse the outcome was.
So many things in my mind and it was hard to sleep yesterday night.
One thing I notice, the more I count the bad things, the harder to get to sleep.
I tried to force myself to count the good things, and eventually I fall asleep.
Well it could be due to the tiredness not due to count the blessing, whatever it is, people tend to satisfied things end in a better side.
With all the condition lie ahead, I need to psychologically prepared and ask myself:
1) what is the worst situation?
2) If have to accept, then get ready to accept it.
3) then keep calm to face it, try to do what I can.

I think it is the pre-race nerves. Take it easy. As you have said: The hard stuff is done. Just go out there and enjoy the race. No pressure. You can do it.
