few and far between...
well, my taper has started in earnest and i feel pretty good so far. i'm doing the same amout of workouts, just cutting back on durations. yesterday i cut out of swimming about 2/3 through, but not before 2x100m time trials. i'm glad we did some all outs because i still want a little intesity to keep things fresh.
i picked up some new cycling shoes last week and i don't know if it's mental or what, but i'm riding a lot fast since (on the road). last night, i went out for an easy spin on the hour loop and finished in around 56 minutes. fast...hopefully signs of good things to come.
the weather has been perfect, and it is forcasted to stay that way through the weekend. high of 80 on sunday is just right. wetsuit decision will be made and announced the day before the race, so i guess i'll pack it. not too concerned either way, with or without the wetsuit the swim is my biggest question mark. my strategy for this race? i'm going to try to find some fast feet in the swim and then ride out of my comfort zone on the bike. just try to hang on in the run (steve larson style...why not emulate another mtb'er turned tri wuss, eh?).
work has been busy of late, but nothing i can't handle. actually, a few extra hours at the office might help calm me during taper. too much work a good thing??
