4.11.14 Taper?

So Jeff diverted me off the Ironman plan everyone else is on for a few days.  This morning was a 30 minute ride and a 30 minute swim.  I rode one of the spin cycles at the CARC for 30 minutes before jumping in the water.  It said I did 10.2 miles in 30 minutes.  Who knows what that really means in outside riding conditions.  I decided to do 1500 yards which should be 30 minutes.  It was basically right on.  Thus concludes my taper.  Tomorrow was a 5 hour ride but Jeff clipped an hour off and told me to go slow.  Right, the wind is supposed to be 15mph out of the south.  No way to take it easy into that.
