7.13 - 7.19 Schedule (Race Week Taper)

7/13-7/19
-off
-swim 15x50m
Took me 18 minutes to do this with 10s rests.
-run :20
Ran :20 right after the above swim (well... soon after)... went 1.9 miles in those 20 minutes at a 1 degree(?) incline.
-bike :45
Finished my penultimate training session before the race... took it easy, rode 40 minutes and went 8.59 miles for a 12.8 mph avg. Max hr was 165 with an average of 143.
-off
-brick... bike :20 run :10
well, did this today... wasn't too pleased with my form on either biking or running, but the resulting speeds were not too bad for taking it easy... I was especially tired though for taking it easy too, which was not promising. I'm going with the delusion that after any rest/taper week, the next workout will be bad, but then after that you will be rested and ready to go. Will see tomorrow how this theory holds up in practice.
-race day
