The one to go portion didn't work out as well. On Saturday I went off on my ride, but cut it short. Way short. I was going to shoot for 110 or at least 100, but stopped after 20 miles. I just didn't have it in me - so it is now officially taper time!!! The hard work is done and now it is rest and recover prior to the race. Because I canceled early, I then was able to ride the bike trail with my family. Initially, I was pulling the kids in the trailer on my mountain bike, but once I asked if my wife wanted to pull them for the exercise, she was like, "yeah!!" Turns out she thought my ego would be bruised if she was pulling them and I said - "no way, I am happy to let you pull them." So anyway, after she started pulling them, I trailed along behind her and could barely keep up on the little small risers on the bike trail. I definitely need rest.
Today, I did an easy open water swim and a 6 or so mile jog. Tomorrow, I am going to take off and have a massage scheduled - that should be interesting.
