I’m on the taper!

April 2, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

The first 20 weeks are nearly done. Funny, after often worrying about how to fit in training, I begin to feel like it's not enough; I feel a little lost without the challenge of "getting it in."

The taper timed out perfectly for the Sprint Triathlon that I'll do in TX on April 17. I'll be over trained for a Sprint, but that's just fine with me! Sunday - off.
