Taper to Nat's

Nationals is in 5 days and I've started my taper. I'm feeling strong, especially on the run. My goal for the next few days is to stay rested and relaxed. I'm looking forward to having my strongest performance to date! It's a really great feeling, knowing that each day I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life. I feel pretty mean and lean right now.

Thursday afternoon I fly out to Portland, OR. Saturday I race, Sunday I fly back. You'll be hearing how it goes for sure.


Hagg Lake, OR. Transition is on the tan part of the shoreline jutting out on the top left side of the lake. The bike course is two laps around the lake, and the run is an out-and-back along the bike course.
