Currently I tend towards daily periodization - rest - hard - easy - hard - rest - long and steady - easy. The hard sessions are normally early morning 80-100km hill smash ups with the road club and the long and steady is typically 2-300 km on the weekend.
Im thinking about a power meter but theres a strong chance my fiance will notice and murder me.
Equally if you do a couple of these races you would maybe save yourself a few days of racing by being a bit fitter. On one of these races I think I eat about £40/50 a day and maybe a hotel on top of that so it might pay for itself pretty quickly!
Cheers this is useful,
