Pre-race taper

Well race week is upon me again. This weekend I am eastbound and down to Houston to participate in the Houston Triathlon! That means its time to start tapering down the workouts for the next few days to make sure I am rested up to rock it out on Sunday.

Sometimes for me the hardest part is the taper. I am so used of going, going, and going, that when it comes time to tone down the workouts or as in the case this morning, cut them out completely it definitely makes me feel out of sync. But I also know I need to make sure I am rested up that way I can give my best effort. 

So it will be light workouts for the rest of the week so I can make sure I am on my A game come Sunday. Maybe this time I can break the 3 hour mark after coming so close in Austin a couple weeks ago! 

Of course, I was able to scout the competition to see what I am going to be up against. As you can see, this guy is going to be tough to beat!!
