Training 8/25 - 8/31 . . . and Taper Madness

(courtesy Wikimedia Commons)

This is a tapir.  It is pretty ugly.  This coming week is my taper.  It too will be ugly.  I hate tapering - the short period of time before your race when you are supposed to tone down on your training and get healed up for the big day.  You know I'm already anxious to get on with this race...and now I'm not even supposed to be training?  Yikes.   What am I going to do with myself?


Sunday 8/25 - 1500m swim race (52:50)
Monday 8/26 - 35 minute swim (Masters - left early), BRICK 2:46 minute bike, 1.8 mile run
Tuesday 8/27 - 2.85 mile run
Wednesday 8/28 - 45 minute OWS (Masters)
Thursday 8/29 - 30 minute bike (Freyja on trainer)
Friday 8/30 - 60 minute swim (Masters), 3.87 mile run + 1.14 mile run/walk (too damn hot)
Saturday 8/31 - 35 minute bike (Freyja on trainer)
