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??
the best way to ease your worry during taper is to
do timed fast swims in practice
your speed tells you where you are
plus if you were fast today, and the day before that and the day before that. ...
you will probably be fast tomorrow and if you keep training to rest, increase your speed and maintain your speed
you'll be fast when your meet arrives
at some point very close to the meet
you no longer need to be timed
Repeat this Mantra
I'm fast
I'm fine.
Every thing is on track
