Taper....

Last night Carrie and I rode Peter's Canyon. Since Skyler wasn't going to be home until late I decided to go to the gym. I swam 48 laps, but am unsure of the time. It's not important. After work I will be doing the Weir Canyon ride. I don't know how I feel about this upcoming race. I can tell a difference in how I look because of my lack of running. I feel horrible! I haven't heard back from my doctor yet, but my shin still hurts. I am pretty sure it is a stress fracture. I have just recently decided that I want to be good at triathlons, but if I can't do one of the events then I can't be good. The run is so important, as is everything else. How will I be a top athlete if I can't run? My physical therapy appointment can't come soon enough! I will be great at the swim during the race, but I am a little iffy about the bike because I haven't gotten in as much road bike time as I would have liked. I have been mountain biking a lot, which I hope will help my road biking performance. I am not too nervous about this race because I don't think I will do as well as I had hoped. I need a good recovery winter and then will be ready to dominate next year!
