Tapers

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.

  • I agree. I think these people also tend to sandbag their seed times. And I'm not talking about tactical sandbagging because they are swimming the next event or something--I'm talking about people who just always enter with times they must know they are going to destroy. FYI Kirk...I entered with all my masters BEST TIMES in Canada next weekend. :canada: No sandbagging here!! ...though I plan to beat my times! :banana:
