This is the lane we all crave.
The work is done, the big meet's approaching.
Lot's more hanging out. You can get in late & out early.
Don't need to do much but what you do needs to be really great.
Mostly easy swimming. Some very fast swimming.
Broken races. 25's 50's 75's
Race rehearsals
Race pace
LOTS of rest.
you're gonna start feeling like super man or woman
Don't do stupid stuff.
Don't trust your taper, test your taper.
Do championship performance prep like Rich Abrahams
Big musclely sprint types tend to need more weeks than the skinny distancy divas
there's always lots to talk about in the taper lane

Anyone else in this lane?
I started my two-week taper for an upcoming triathlon this week. Only 3 swims this week. 2500 yards on Monday, 2000 yesterday. About 2000 planned for Friday. I'm starting to feel a little spastic. Reading the breaststroke and fly lanes is making me want to swim those strokes, but I shouldn't.
