I despise tapering so much, it sometimes makes me NOT want to compete anymore. I feel moody, tired, and depressed and worried about my races because I'm so used to being very active on a daily basis. I remember reading that Laura Val doesn't worry about a taper but the article had no details. Is there anyone else who has been able to perform really well without cutting way back on yardage? I would be interested in hearing what you do.
Conversely, I wish I could always taper!
Like that guy who was profiled in the recent Swimmer who swims 2,000 yards, three days per week and is swimming fast. Now that would be awesome.
