Thought I would get your attention- lol
Ok, IMFL in 22 days-
I’M GOING NUTS!!!
Any advice on things to do while tapering? The workouts were kinda my way to realease the tension, and now they are being cut short- which gives me WAY too much time to think about things
Any advice out there?
I plan on using sex as my training replacement during my taper for IMWA in Nov.
I have no other useful suggestions sorry.

I need to get my wife training for an Ironman 
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.

hahahaha, that was funny, but EXACTLY how I feel!!!
I think I gotta cut my taper down to 2 weeks- I’m not ready to sit around
must…get…one…more…long…ride…!
(no sig. other in the house to preform the above mentioned advice 
)
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.
Ummm, don’t you mean until November 5th?

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.
