MiTi Preweek and final taper

Monday SWIM 1900y in about 45-50 mins
             RUN 3.2 miles in 30 mins
Tuesday BIKE 18 miles in just over an hour, indoors

Since we were traveling to MiTi on Thursday, this was a pretty light week! I was still feeling tired, the brain fog was clearing but the fatigue but still lingering. It caused some doubt, but not terribly much. In the mornings, I would feel that zippy weeeee I'm tapering!!!! feeling, but it really faded by the end of the day.

Monday's swim was with Evolve, and since most of us there were racing on Sunday, it was an easy workout. Only a few of us came, so I shared the first lane with JZ. She was super nervous and excited for her first upcoming IM! It wasn't my best swim, I didn't feel fast or like I had good form.

The run was an errand to return the wrong applesauce I'd purchased the day prior. I bought the version with HFCS! Cardio brain!

Tuesday's bike was kept indoors due to light rain, no need to crash now. Wednesday was taking the doggie to the vet (she's OK to board!), final packing, and meal prep. Oh and a slow ADT guy who kinda took waaaay to long to not fix anything.

Wednesday nothing, Thursday a drive to MiTi, Friday a course preview. Packing seemed so easy, not as nervous as I used to get. Probably because I was using my tried-and-true IMCDA checklist? :) But I wasn't terribly streamlined. I brought both wetsuits as well as a regular and aero helmet. Gonna have to be more streamlined for B2B!

Thursday we drove up, not an early departure having to drop the doggie for boarding. I ate my own meals all day, we stopped enough during the drive and I slept a lot.

Friday was course preview and my first aura in a long time. I ended up with a headache, but not a migraine. CB had the bacon and sausage stuffed pancake at lunch, many pancake jokes followed! TH had mentioned yesterday that she couldn't find her massage golf ball. We joked that we'd stop by a golf course for her to find one. Better yet, CB saw a home near the golf balls selling them for 25 cents. She bought a ball for all of us -- mine was yellow and black!
