Taper Time!

It's taper time in my world! This phase is training is a bit challenging for me. I love the big long workouts! I know I need be patient and rest and then it will all be worth it come race time.

The big training was great. I was able to get in 5 rides of 100 miles or more, some good long runs, and lots of indoor swimming.

Finishing up a long ride indoors, miss the long summer days!

Longest ride! At least I know I am capable of riding the entire race distance!

From my cousin. I had to include him because he's just so cute!

What I woke up to one morning! In less than a week I will be waking up to sand instead :)
