The Thoughest Part Of Training

With just 4 days away from Ironman 70.3 New Orleans I have officially entered the toughest part of training:  the taper!

Yeap, every taper is the same for me.  It's a hurry up and wait kind'a thing.  I know I have done what I should, and all that I could.  I know that I have put in the laps and the miles, but just relaxing and resting seems to be the hardest part.

The mind games started a couple of days ago.  "Have I done enough?", "Could I do more?'.  "What if I get an extra workout in?", "What if I make it a quick one?"

I know that rest at this point is part of the process.  Oh yeah, rest and carb loading.  So, I guess I should just do what I'm supposed to.  Rest.  And eat.
