Tired

My taper week and a half is not going as planned. I am exhausted!! I went out on Tuesday night for my last long bike ride (56 miles). Wednesday, I went to yoga and was supposed to run that evening but didn't have enough energy to do that. Thursday, I went strawberry picking after work and then home where I feel asleep on my couch for an hour and a half and didn't get out for my run. So, I woke up this morning and went for a short run and am going to the pool for a short swim after work. At least I did something today. I am really not sure what has happened since my last long run and bike but I am exhausted. I am hoping that I can get through the next week and be rested enough to do well at the Tinman on the 29th but also get in the workouts I want in order to not be lethargic during the race. It is almost like my body knew that I was tapering and just shut down. Planned for this weekend: Baxter Mountain 3.5 mile race on Saturday, a 36 mile bike ride around Keene Valley and Elizabethtown, and a swim on the Ironman course to get in some more open water swimming. Lets hope I get it all in without feeling completely spent.
