I get happy and joyous during a taper. I don't get this bitchies thing at all. Could this be regulated to sprinters? Do other distance swimmers get the bitchies?
what are they?
symptoms
How do you get rid of them?
Symptoms:
increased swearing
pissed off over small insignificant things
munchies
obsession over things like timelines and f'in early warm ups
hypochondriasis
wanting to vaporize young children who come near your lane
picking on Clydesdale
Ridding oneself of them:
Nearly impossible, but one can try:
kicking kids out of the house
retail therapy
a good *** session with someone similarly afflicted
more sleep
pasta
picking on Clydesdale
Just any ol' Clydesdale?
No, doesn't have to be Pablo, any old stereotypical Clydesdale will do.
I myself was just subjected to a vicious taper-induced personal attack on FB b/c someone is a poor loser in wordscraper ... I might have to gloat. But first I need to eat more. I just had a snack and I'm still f'in starving.

Gloat all you want. As long as I can look at your avatar the bitchies go away. (inserts DOM smiley)
I just got to get my head in the game. Can't wait until I can get to Indy and forget about work for a while. Believe me I won't remember work at all for 6 glorious days of swimming!
My taper is weird this time and I am not sure of things this time around. I find the pressures tend to ruin the feel of a great taper.
My taper bitchie: Cranky 'cause I tapered when I didn't really have anything to taper from. Started a new job and missed a lot of swimming late spring and early summer. This is also known as "lining up my excuses." (Hey at least I admit it):drown:

Pre-excusing is another common symptom of taper bitchies. Hulk and Thornton are experts at this one.
