This is Taper

Taper is here!

Am I really close enough to race day to be tapering? I still remember the day I signed up, almost a year ago. It felt like it would be an eternity before I’d start training in earnest, let alone race.

And then January came and I started doing basework, and Ironman seemed so remote. Unlikely even.

And yet here I am. Taper. Because I’m doing an Ironman. Soon. Crazy soon.

But right now, resting will be my highest priority. Rest up, recover, build. I know my body will thank me. I hope so because I’m going to be calling on you to come through for me in, oh, about 11 days.
