Taper

I'm officially in my Ironman Lake Placid taper, which is now just 20 days away.

The last time I did the race in 2006, my longest ride- 98 miles, came just 13 days before the race and my taper was only 8-9 days long. This was not my coach's fault. I was cramming to get the volume in because my son was still an infant, about 5 months old, and if I went out and rode for a long time, well, that was a long time...

With two centuries in June and about 55 miles running in the last 8 days, I'm ready to start dialing down.
