Tapering: Sleep fresh, eat and drink fresh, think clear, feel fresh

Two days till Louisville IM! I'm going to keep this short and sweet (just like my workouts this past week).

Tapering per MACCA "achieving the feeling of freshness."
"Don't panic. Be comfortable. Be confident. Don't try to squeeze any last minute workouts in."

Tapering per SPIKE "getting the mind and body in sync."
Sleep as much is needed.
Short workouts.
Prepare and eat meals slowly.
Being in the present moment.
Practice the art of nothingness.
Observe.
Listen.
Smile.
Imagine the impossible.
Expect nothing.
Sleep some more:)

Sunday smile breakfast watching "The Peaceful Warrior". Highly recommended movie by the way. About the physical and mental training of a USA gymnast  going for the Olympics. Other recommended movies during taper---Soul Surfer, The Miracle, The Flying Scotsman
