I hate that I never can get over the anxiety of will my taper work!!!
I've always had great tapers, but every time I wonder if I'm doing it right.....
This time is a little different because of the long layoff since my last season of competition (20 years), but I remember always having these same concerns.
Does anyone else have these same fears??

I just finished my last taper practice today and ready to go tomorrow at the meet. You really need to TRUST your taper. During taper you should be doing some broken 100's/200's to give ya a sense of where you are at. Last week I broke a 200 fly 75/50/50/25. Did a 1:58 but felt much worse. I think I was in one of the valleys during my taper where you have peaks and valleys. Felt great this morning and bouncing off wall here at work ready to go.
Good luck and trust your training and taper, eliminate the doubts and go for it!
