The Taper

I am 10 days out from race day and in full taper mode. What does that mean? It means less volume, more sleep, and lots of recovery. It also means that my training is pretty much done. I have officially put in all the work that I will need to in order to survive this race.

There is a question that keeps coming up over and over, how are you feeling? To be quite honest, I don't have a specific answer other than, fine. I know that I should be more excited, or at least nervous or scared but, I don't feel any exact thing... yet. I guess you could say that I am just plugging along for the time being until the undoubted rush of emotions takes over.

One thing I can confidently say is that I have started to pack, yay! I have been making lists of the items that I will need to have with me on race day, as well as started my suitcase with stuff for the whole trip. Hopefully this will help ease any anxiety that might creep up about forgetting something.

My plan is to blog one more time before race day, but once I have arrived in Hawaii. I'm sure I will be singing a different tune then as far as emotions go, and hopefully I will have so much more to share.

Hawaii here I come...

My bib# is 1940
