Taper week again....

I've been training and racing hard for the last few weeks, and all has been going well. Ive been hitting the intensity with the boys here at school. Its painfull, but i'm seeing results.

In the past two weekends, I raced the Niles, MI Olympic distance race, and the Mighty Mississinewa (500yrd/16.6mile/4mile) tri. I went into both of these races less than fresh, thinking of them more as hard workouts than actual races. I'm pleased to say, even though I felt like shit during both races, I won them both. I'm extremely pleased, especially with my 2:00:07 at Niles ( an 8 min PR for me). I'm hoping this speed is going to help me this coming weekend at USAT Long Course Nationals in St. Louis. I'm hoping to set another PR and go sub 4:20, which would give me a motivation boost going into Clearwater in Nov
