After this weekend I start my two week taper for the Morden Half Ironman. It really shouldn't be called a taper, that is misleading word. When I think of the word taper I think of taking it easy, but for me, that's not the case. For the next two weeks as part of my taper, I'll end up doing 3 days of Olympic or longer triathlons, before doing the 4th which will be the half Ironman. That works out to 4 triathlons in only 2 weeks. It's not so much a taper as a performance sharpener.
It's kind of weird only doing one week of regular training and going right into a 2 week taper. I'm curious to see how it effects my race times, will I be faster or slower?
Had a good swim at lunch time today, it was one of those swims were time flew by and it was a lot of short intervals at all out speed. I love those things.
Today was my last weight training session for the next few weeks. I made sure I gave my legs an extra blast of weight, especially on the lunges. My legs and butt were sore after those lunges. My philosophy is no pain, no gain.
At work we got recognized this year for being one of the top 100 printers in Canada (#90). It's too bad it doesn't come with a cash award, I'd really like to buy those Zoot runners. I was joking with a guy that with the state of the print industry, I'm surprised they even found 100 printers in all of Canada.
