Tapering is hardest of all. The schedule is lighter than ever but I'm seriously more tired than I've been all year!
Granted, I'm solar powered, so I could go all day 5am to 9pm as long as it was light out and feel good. Darkness til almost 7am and by 6:30pm is no fun at all! I could sleep through it all!.
Being just a little busy and having thoughts go in three directions doesn't help a lot but it does at least keep me focused on something other than worrying too much about it all. By next Friday I'll be shipping my bike. Last bike ride will be next Thurday and then I'll take it to get torn apart and packed up.
I've got plans to see cousin Chris for dinner on Thursday or Friday and it might be crazy if his parents and I end up on the same plane on the 16th- evidently when they fly down also for a little longer vacay this year.
I'm ready for sleeping right now and hoping I'll feel better next week. Less than two busy weeks to go and then I'll be there.
Last of bigger weight workouts has happened and now it's just a little maintenance and injury prevention until the race.
