I am just thinking about how much to train the next few days.  I have been doing about 120 miles a week on the bike and 20 to 30 miles a week running.

 I'm not worried about how fast my time will be, more just wanting to feel strong.  Should I even do much at all the next few days?  It's hard to not want to get out and train like I have the last several weeks.

Have you been following a plan?  If so, continue to follow the plan.

Everyone is different in regards to taper.  You can search the forums and find a good bit on taper.  I know JorgeM has written some stuff specifically about it.  

For me, I don't do so well with full days off.  I get flat fast.  So for my IM taper, most of the volume was cut but I did workouts with short bursts of intensity to keep me feeling fresh.
