 Alright people, more mountains, more mountains, more mountains, how we do it? Just a tall dark roast, yeah, no room, that's it, thanks. Simple coffees, simple life, I guess, kind of, a little bit. Art of the taper, the taper, seven days to go baby. Till Bikes Peak, back Saturday, it's Saturday right now and it is not easy to taper, meaning, to cut back on your training when you've been training so hard for something. Whether it's for a test, in college, whether it's for an athletic event, like you gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, you gotta know when to rest. So this is one of my last hard runs before the race, going back to Grace Peak, but it's something that I don't enjoy, the taper, but you have to do it, you gotta rest up for whatever you're preparing for. Maybe it's a big hike across, you know, some mountains, I don't know, who knows. But the Art of the Taper, if you want me to comment more on this, just comment below if you have questions and I will try and answer them as quick as possible, because I do have quite a bit of experience with when to taper, how to taper, especially in running, you know, maybe not so much in biking or swimming, but you know the drill. Alright, almost to the trailhead. Taking a risk, taking a risk today, but it's not a huge risk, but a little bit of a risk. I am going on, I'm only going to carry this little eight ounce water bottle, tucked into my pants, into my belt, whatever, and my pants, I'm not going to carry the backpack like I usually do, because I want to go light weight, go fast, and I'm definitely going to drink all this. I'll be a little thirsty at the end, but I'm going to take a risk, because I just want to go light weight and go as fast as possible, because I'm tapering and I want the legs to get that fast turnover at high altitude, capiche, capiche, and a little bit of nutrition as well. Mountain goat season, mountain goat season. Goats, we're the tourists from Texas. Love you, Carol, love you. Just kidding, just kidding, if I can race him down the mountain. By the way, I'm on my way down. The run up was great. 127 to the top, for Grace Peak, from I-17. Probably no, I'm a hoka guy, H-O-K-A, because I have a lot of stress fractures in college and hokas have a lot of cushion, well, I wouldn't necessarily call it support, a lot of cushion to absorb the impact of thousands and thousands of footsteps every single week. So, but for trail running and racing, Solomon is definitely the go-to shoe. S-A-L-O-M-O-N, Solomon, I'm going to go with the Solomon S-Lab Speed Cross Trail running shoe. I won't tell you how much they are regularly, because they're a lot regularly, but I'm going to get a deal on them 40% off, so I'm getting these guys, got a lot of tread on the bottom of the shoe. I'm excited, going to use them at the Pikes Peak race next week. Ooh, it's a big moment, paying with cash money. Well, you know, through the intrawebs, but you know, saved up cash money. See beauty, work hard, love each other, and I love you guys, simple day. It's just a simple day here on YouTube, and we'll see you tomorrow.
