Tapering Question

In preparation for Nationals, I was planning a full 3 week taper that would have started today. However, my back had other ideas and I have been dry all week. :badday: I am hoping to be able to swim tomorrow. My question is... do I continue on my regular planned schedule, or do I revise? How much training have I lost? Last good workout was last Friday. My focus events are the 100 and 200 Free. Right now I'm thinking that I should swim hard next week, and taper the 10 days preceding Nationals. :dunno:

  • Hey Elaine! !!!!! I am heading to the Gay Game's in Cleveland from Aug 8-16. I have a much better chance for medals while all you gals are at World :). Good luck!!!! Unfortunately I won't be in Maryland because I am using my vacation time for Cleaveland. I can't wait to retire so I can swim around the world with you old fish !!!! Good luck at World's and I can't wait to see photos of your medals. Hugs and swim fast girl, I know you can! Medals? At Worlds?? :lmao: My only chance for a medal is at Nationals, and that's just because I'm swimming difficult events (400 IM, 200 fly, 200 ***)! Several of my teammates, on the other hand, will medal. :cheerleader: Good luck at the Gay Games, and swim fast! :banana:
