Taper

Well, I am pretty good at this "taper" stuff! Just don't do anything ;-) Actually, I took yesterday off, did 40 laps and 1/2 hour on the bike today. My good friend Laura Lu who is an INCREDIBLE ironwoman says I must rest!!! So not much this week!

    My philosophy exactly, LSD, long - slow - distance! Start slow, taper off. Only way to go. Finally beat the raindrops for 7 miles this evening. But I haven't been very consistent with the weather the way it is. U R almost there.

    Oh sure, I see how you are. I've been mentioning rest and tapering for weeks and nothing; Laura mentions it once and it's the gospel. ;) Seriously, the weather report looks great for your race this weekend! Have fun!

    Don't forget to hydrate! We're all very proud of you...don't think I'll ever follow in these footsteps, but I'm happy to hear the stories.

    I wish your girls were going to be there to cheer you on but we'll all be there in spirit!
