Last 'big' workout was yesterday.  Only 'big' workout left is July 9th, in survival mode.  Taper will be filled with shorter workouts that have very brief accelerations to get the heart rate up, figuring out the spacing in the truck to get all of the gear in it efficiently, ironing out the last few driver details.  And, probably most importantly, copious amounts of  groveling to my darling for putting up with this (and me ).  Can't thank her enough, literally. 

Some things I've learned:  red bull goes with anything; no matter how quiet you think you are at 3am, you're not; the lab foods are very good, real foods are better; we have a ton of good friends with a great sense of adventure; we have a ton of crazy friends; ease of digestion goes way down as intensity goes up; funny looking clothes are worth the trouble, you don't have to go hard ALL of the time; consistency is the foundation to results; life won't always allow you to 'chill' after a big workout, get over it, it was your choice to get out there;  there IS a fight out there against cancer...and it will help our kids and our kid's kids.
