Taper Blues

Beach to Battleship (www.beachtobattleship.com) is 6 days away. It is my last Triathlon of the season and my first Iron distance race. And I am excited. Training is done, and I am ready for race day. But like many endurance athletes this Taper period before the race is driving me nuts. A big part of my days is always my training- but right now there a bunch of off days and my workouts are low intensity and shorter than normal. And I am eating like there is no tomorrow. I know Tapers work- they have for me in my past races, but sometimes they are the hardest part of training- forcing your body to slow down and relax.

Well time for me to go and do very little.
