I'm struggling to find the motivation and energy to get in the water today. Fast, demanding work week, finally a blessed AM of sleeping in without an alarm clock (at somewhere near 10 hours).
But I've got an open water swim a week from now. While I didn't get in enough yardage to need to taper, and my goals for the swim are simply to be safe and have fun, I don't want to be physically limited in the waters of Lake Superior. So I feel compelled to go to the pool.
How do others manage the trade-off of rest vs. training?
Off to the pool now. I'll let you know how it goes.
