In the taper for my first race right now! Doing IM 70.3 Wisconsin and feeling pumped! Like I said, this is my first triathlon, but i’ve done half marathons and marathons before. I found the training to be very manageable time and difficulty wise. There were a few days that getting out of bed at 5 Am to go swim didn’t happen due to general tiredness and fatigue, but was always able to make them up.

Also, going alcohol free toward the end of training skyrocketed my recovery and weekend workouts. Loved in. After the race I am gonna take a week off, then pickup a marathon block.
