It is really strange to be tapering in June. There is just something wrong with that! Everyone else is jsut starting to really ramp up their training, and I am on the down-stroke. I cannot complain, however, as I am ready for a little slow down. I did my last big workouts this week, including a 2.7-mile swim on Monday and a three-hour bike ride today. I'm not gonna lie; I was pretty pooped after the ride. I need the big reduction in volume that this week will provide. Last week was a 13-hour training week, but this week will only be about 5 and a half!
I'm leaving for Coeur d'Alene on Thursday and will be returning home the following Wednesday. I am super pumped to have so many great people coming to Idaho to watch. It will be great to spend a few days relaxing after the race, too. I'm not sure what we'll be doing, but as I understand, it may involve beer! Next report will be after the race! Thanks for reading!
