Taper for IMWI

With Ironman Wisconsin just a little more than a week away I am trying hard to taper. The two weeks prior are always a struggle...considering all summer long, free hours are gobbled up with training. To sit almost idle, its a challenge!
Been getting up to swim prior to work. Today was the first day in the last three where I was able to swim since Lake Michigan wasn't too wavy. The last two mornings it was too wavy for my liking so I opted to lace up the shoes and run instead.
Yesterday evening I went down to Klode to see if I could swim. Mother Nature was on my side and had calmed the waters enough for me to feel confident that it wouldn't bother my kinked up neck. Got a good swim in of about 40 minutes! Yeah!
This morning was more of the same...calmer waters so I swam for 45 minutes. I am hoping to get a bike ride in this evening. Hopefully my good luck with the weather holds out long enough for it as there are storms in the forecast.
Have a social function at a local running store. I can hear my credit card screaming SPEND, SPEND, SPEND! Already:)

Hi Robin! Thanks for checking out my blog. I feel really lazy after looking at how busy you are working out! You are so ambitious. I'll be checking in often.
