So now with the race less than 3 weeks away how does everyone feel??? Who's tapering and who's got a week left of hard training?

I've got a 14 hr week this week w/ a moderate training day on Saturday. Then, the tapering really begins. Next week is like 8 hrs and race week is about 3.5 or so. After this weekend, I'll feel like I'm on easy street!

I haven't started thinking through all my bags, etc... But, I've been keeping up w/ the forum chatter. Hopefully, after this weekend, I'll begin to start writing it all down and really getting prepared.

My taper started yesterday but this week is still ~14hrs so its not much of a taper, next week is when the real stuff starts.

I've got this week as my last BIG week then I'll throw down on a 2 week-ish taper before IMLOU. Should be interesting...

Also if you guys want/need some race wheels just let me know!

I am on the Taper as well with only this saturday at 260 minutes. I am really trying to get healed up from the last two weeks of wear and tear.

I will crush IMLOU ......

With all the workouts missed this year there isn't a whole lot to taper from for me. I'm feeling great going into these last few weeks though. I have a 4 hr ride this weekend, 80+ miles with a bunch of hills then things tone down a bit for running and biking but increase for swimming. (I have not been in the water much. ) Looking forward to the current!

I'm heading into Loo on Thurs night, planning on the Gatorade swim Fri am then a ride at some point. Is anyone driving the course on Fri?

Taper well everyone!!
