Taper
It is nice to finally start taper. I’m still doing some good work in the pool and I’m still pretty tired, but the difference in the amount of time spent at the pool is noticeable. Just having more time during the day is one of the great things about taper. While full yardage training is in swing it can feel like there’s never any time in the day. It seems like I get home from morning practice and its almost time to get ready to head back. It is also nice to swim faster on a regular basis. That is the reason most of us swim anyway…to go fast. That is the fun part. Even in the beginning of taper when I am still a little tired it’s cool to start swimming faster.
Other than that there isn’t really too much going on around here. I went to see Kung Fu Panda with Beth the other day and thought it was pretty good. There were only about 6 total people in the theater since it was a matinee in the middle of the week and that made it even more enjoyable. It was easy to spread about and get comfortable. There is just something about Jack Black that makes us laugh whether in human or panda form.
