I am in my final 2 week taper now before Austria Ironman on July 13th. All is going well, I think. It's nice to get some extra rest and a little extra free time, but do I miss the training....

I have been swimming in my wetsuit every other day (Mon, Wed & Fri) and doing a specific brick session on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Tuesday I did a 90min bike followed by 7 mile run. Thursday was 75min bike followed by 5 mile run and Sunday will be 2hr 15min bike followed by 4 mile run. 

All my other sessions are low key and very easy. Just ticking over. I still have 'issues' with my calf problems. More physio planned but nothing at this stage will change. I just have to be prepared and manage it on the day. Apparently 2700 people are on the start list. That is going to be one busy swim !!!
