This is quite a long taper

I should start by saying I've questioned every single taper I've ever done.  The fact that this is the longest taper of my life is probably why I question it even more.  I can see how it can work for others, but this is drastically different than anything I'm used to (which could be a really good, or a bad thing).  The content is good, the length is what scares me.  It just feels like we're doing next to nothing for about 5 weeks.  I'm sort of in a different boat than all of the other guys because I came from much less training only 2.5 months ago.  This means I'm tapering down from less training.  I'm still having a great time with the team but I'm eager to see if this type of taper will work for me.  Only a week left before nationals!
