I have concluded that last weekend was not an ideal taper for a HIM, but I had so much fun I don't care.
Losing a night's sleep has really knocked me around. Four days sitting in a car as well as a stint night running (over 4 hours) and a three hour walk/run from Charlotte's and back left me tight all over. I worked out that I did about 45k all up which with the 15k earlier in the week made it 60k for the week. My biggest week in ages! Lucky Easy Tiger had a cancellation. He laughed at me because I was so tensed up.
I have been on such a high after C2K that it is hard to concentrate on this weekend's race.
The plan is to try and recuperate as much as possible to be as fresh as I can on Sunday. Had the day off Monday, 24k ride on Tuesday and a 1k swim tonight. All feeling very sluggish, but probably to be expected. I am sure I will perk up in a day or two.

What an incredible selfless thing to do a week out from your big race. Good on you Chris !
BTW I'm getting nervous & excited for you. See you tonight.
Now, don't you go getting ideas! Stick to the light side :-)
I know it'll all go well on the weekend. Don't worry about mid-taper lethargy. It'll pass.
