Taper madness

The craziness has set in. After sitting in the RV all week on my butt and eating lots of junky road food, I'm convinced that I've gained back 20 pounds, can't run more than 10 steps at a time, have forgotten how to swim.... pure insanity! I just hope I remember how to do all this when the triathlon begins tomorrow. It's just like riding a bike, isn't it? And swimming and running besides....

I hope we brought some tinfoil along with us so that I can make a hat to shut out those little voices for a few hours.

Good luck! You are going to do great! I felt the exact same way for my last race. I was traveling for a week before and of course couldn't fit in any workouts, so I was sure I was going to bomb the race. But I actually did better than usual, probably because I was well rested. If anything, the fear will assure that you will be well prepared for IMF! Go get em!

Have a great race! I know you will do awesome.

If you don't have any tin foil, you can use a stainless steel strainer. :)

Good luck. Check Buttercup over real well before the race. Remember a tire pump, and remember to close the valve screw.
