Taper aka Time to really freak out!

I did a 3 week taper for IM Wis. It's time for you body to recover and getting ready to really kick your own ass! You go from doing all the training to progressively less and less. As we train less and less your level of "freak" grows more and more! It's a stressful time. I am very glad I only had to drive 2:30 hours to Madison. I can't imagine flying somewhere, that must only exacerbate the stress! Make lists of what you want to bring, what you need for race day...it helps you maintain somewhat normal stress level. Trust your training.
