Tomorrow begins the first of two weeks of taper for Lake Placid. Luckily I had three good workouts today - fast-ish long run, 50x50 swim, and an easy spin on the trainer while appropriately watching the Tour de France and reading chick lit.
If anyone knows me, they know I hate taper time. I'm like, what am I suddenly going to do with all my free time? Luckily Heather, as a former competitive college swimmer, has a list of things to do, or not do, during taper:
1. Do not run when you can walk.
2. Do not stand when you can sit.
3. Do not take stairs when there is an elevator.
4. Lightweight shoes.
5. Always sleep by yourself.
6. Don't get hit by cars.
So out of those 6 things, I feel I can only really do number 6. Maybe 1 since I hate running in flip-flops. And I don't think there is an elevator in the building I currently work in.
TWO WEEKS!! And congrats to Jocelyn for winning overall female at the Korea Ironman!

On Sat, I was especially aware not to cause #6 on the ride...Not necessarily get hit by a car but any collision at all.
how is #5 a problem?!? tsk tsk tsk.

Good luck! Good tapering time!
