Training Tri's and Life

That is how i feel right now. I am just frustrated - I hate taper! I hate how you start to feel all the aches and pains that didn’t seem to be there while training. I hate the mental games that start to happen in your mind.  it isn’t helping that i couldn’t do our mini-tri today since my bike pedal/knee are not getting along.  i’ve also been told to just not run either to let my knee just chill and go swim.  ugh - i’m sick of swimming - that is the one thing i don’t need the practice in.  i mean it’s not hurting me to swim more, but after today’s swim with my friends it sucked so much to not be able to get on my bike with them for a 10mile ride and 3mile run.  i know it is for the best right now and i know that i just need to rest and that everything will be ok next weekend - but fuck! it is just pissing me off and stressing me out.  i have worked really, really, really hard for this tri and i have put a lot of myself into it and this is just frustrating!!  all i want to do right now is go for a run, alas i will not and i will instead go grocery shopping.
