So can I still play on the taper-haters forum, yet begrudingly acknowledge how well it worked? :( Just did the swim4life in Ptown on Saturday, and had my best, most consistent, and most comfortable swim ever. 1.4 miles - never hurt the whole time (except for the chafe on my neck from my wetsuit collar), felt good all the way across the harbor. Wasn't even really all that sore the next day! And there was definitely some chop from time to time! Overall, a really beautful experience, and I felt physically more ready than I ever have before without a taper. I had a HORRIBLE swim the Wed before, which I had been warned about, but Saturday was gorgeous as promised!

Well at least you did not perish from excess fluid in your brain.
Glad it worked out for you.
