I Don't Know How To Taper!
{
}
It's true, I don't know how to taper. Fellow triathletes, in particular, ones who have done an Olympic distance tri. How/when do I taper? My race is next Sunday. Here is my tentative training plan for the week:
Tomorrow:
Tomato 5K
1600m open water swim
Sunday:
30 mile ride
4 mile run
Monday:
rest
Tuesday:
Hell Class
short ride
Wednesday:
East Nasty run
Thursday:
Hell Class - ?
Pool swim - ?
Friday:
3 mile run - ?
Saturday
rest
Sunday:
race day
Questions:
If this race is on Sunday, what day do I quit working out? Thursday? Friday?
Do I need a short ride next week?
Do I need a pool swim next week?
I should skip Hell Class on Thursday, right?
