Taper Week

It is seriously so crazy.  I cannot believe last November I impulsively decided to do this and I cannot believe 8 months later I actually committed to training and am actually doing it.  I seriously think I am deranged.

so lets recap, when we last left off, I was heading in to my taper week and i was 5 days away from the race.
and OMG -- it was a seriously exciting and nervous week all rolled into one.  I knew I was prepared for the race as Coach Riz & Javier had us completely prepared, heck, we did 80mi to San Diego and the race is only 56mi! But even with all the training, I was still nervous.  Kinda like a little kid before the first day of school.

The week itself was great with very chill and fun practices. Javie threw Riz in the pool at our swim session, i took an awesome solo ride to Marina Del Rey on the beach back and just took my whole experience and and Thursday, I head to Angela's before we headed to Sonoma on Friday morning Christy and her husband.

As we headed into the last week before the race... I was informed by the fundraising team that I was super close to being the #1 Fundraiser for SoCal! How cool is that??!?!?!  Lizette and Stan were hot on my tail and it was going to be close... but raising money for LLS? That was a personal challenge I was ready to take!  With one week to go, I threw out one more FB Raffle... the donations starting pouring in... but with that, so were Lizette's & Stan's.  It was going to be super close...  Stay tuned.. the winner is announced at the Send Off Dinner on Saturday.
