I plan on using sex as my training replacement during my taper for IMWA in Nov.

I have no other useful suggestions sorry.

Striving to have sex more than 66 times per year

Are you planning on having a partner?

Start counting backwards from 28 billion. That should occupy some time.

Ahh, the joys of tapering. Don't sneeze! Don't cough! Don't lift anything! Get all the snotty little kids away from me! What's that scratch in my throat??!!! If I do a 5-hour ride the day before the race, will it trash me?

Lots of fun...my taper has not quite started yet; few more days to get through before I join you in the constant hypochondriacal and spazzed out state.

Your good days and your bad days all have sunsets!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. See, there is no Someday!

Wrap yourself in bubble wrap & don't leave the house!!!

Take vitamins!

Watch past IM stuff you have on video to get psyched!!!

Tune into Ironmanlive this weekend!!!

Figure out where you're gonn aput your M-Dot tat!!!

Don't start an M-Dot tat thread!

I'm so jealous. I did IMFL last year and I can't believe a year has gone by. Enjoy these last few weeks and take in everything at the race site. PS...you'll be up early the morning after the race. As soon as you can move, get over to the village and buy your finisher gear. We were late and all the cool stuff was almost gone. ;)

Make sure your bike is in order. Follow your taper. Enjoy the day.

Nor does he wish to follow.
He only wishes to place himself
Where he is needed most.

Ummm, don't you mean until November 5th?

Any run that doesn't include pooping in someone's front yard is a win.

Relax, have fun, enjoy your time. Don't stress. It's only a race, after all.

To add to my last post. It's a huge, amazing, important, potentially life changing race. But still, it's one small facet of life. Enjoy it as much as you can.

Do squats. Heavy as you can. Perfect for taper. :-P
