Another taper question

[mrs.jacinthe]

Yes, that's right.  I have one more taper question.

It's *normal* to feel jittery and antsy during a taper, right?  I did 3100 SCY this morning and it's KILLING me that I a) didn't swim two miles and b) still had plenty of gas left in the tank when I finished.  Like, I've just got all this nervous energy and I (briefly) contemplated going back to the pool at lunchtime to get rid of it.  I won't - just thought about it. 

I'm going to freaking lose my mind, aren't I?

Swimming 3100 would make me crazy, too. Sounds like taper madness though.

Every Monday for the next 5 weeks is a 3200yd swim for me. Save me. Lol.

You can do it!!!

I meant swimming 3100 instead of 3200 to make it 2 even miles. You got this!

Would it be better if I said I was thinking of real miles, not pool miles?  I call 3600 two miles, even though it's really 3520 (I add on yardage because stopping in the middle of the pool is ridiculous and I haaaaaaaate ending yardage without two zeros).

taper madness is a bitch. you've got this though!

If the swimming taper is anything like the running taper it is a complete mind fuck.

Very normal! DH is the worst with all his energy. It drives me crazy because I'm usually very calm and he's bouncing off the wall.
