from green to black

tapering week

i requested to be taken out from training tomorrow.
i kindda felt that i needed more time to recover
for tapering week. i have done my part. i do not
need one more set, i have my confidence already.

but anyway, thats also because of the articles i
may have passed to some of my friends to let them
understand this part of the sport cycle.

tapering week is a recovery week in which we
prepare mentally more rigorously than physcially
for a race. hence i know i can do the training set
but what does it prove if i cant recover fast
enough to do it again on the race itself.

so i guess i'll give myself a day off so i can
reduce my recovery time on race day itself. this
is possible because i will be recovering more
now. allowing my sugar and glycogen stores to
build up.

i'll be down but actively recovering instead.
so please dont worry too much if i'm not down
in the water
