Over the hump!

Ohhhhh the taper....it's a beautiful thing.

This weekend was peak training weekend which means I rode my bike 100 miles and ran 3 miles. Then on Sunday I ran 20 miles. It was hot....95 degrees hot. On one hand it was good to have a tough weekend of training just in case it is like this in Louisville. On the other hand it was a little miserable but I guess that just makes you stronger. After all of that training I'm tired but I'm also excited because this is the official beginning of "the taper." All of my training goes down in volume from here until the big day on August 30th. I can start catching up on sleep and getting my body all rested up for the Ironman.

3 weeks to go...our race numbers should arrive soon!
