It's taper time... The hard work is done and now it's just about making sure I'm peaked for the race.
Swim and bike have been strong but running has been almost nonexistent since my IT problems started. I've been doing everything I can to keep it in check but to a certain extent there's just not much I can do about it.
This week I've just got to start making sure that I have everything I need for the race itself. Wetsuit, clothes for all conditions, wheels, nutritionn, bike check-up, race shoes, etc etc. Should start to get pretty exciting!
Have you tried yoga for your IT band? It does wonders for all my tightness! I use the rodney yee yoga conditioning for athletes DVD. It hits all the right spots, and I do it alot during my taper. flexibility = free speed!
