Tapering Day 3

Today didn't start exactly how I'd anticipated it would. I had plenty to do; I needed to get my bike re-adjusted in the case and repacked, I needed to repair a small tear in my wetsuit, do my last swim, pack my luggage, make some notes for Ryan and Erin who were watching the dogs for the week and finish up a bit of work. But I woke up to a test message from Jeannie that Katie had had some seizure activity and was taken to the hospital in Barrie by ambulance. I jumped in the truck and headed to Barrie. On the way I called Jeannie to see what exactly had happened and it wasn't as bad as the text message had made it out to be. She hadn't had a seizure but activity that usually meant a seizure was going to happen and she panicked and called and ambulance. When she's alone and has a seizure she goes into panic mode and calls an ambulance and I can't blame her. I tried calling her while driving but she didn't answer so I texted her (I know, bad, but hell my kid was in the hospital)and she got back to me that she was still at the hospital but was OK and had a friend with her so I shouldn't drive all the way to Barrie. I told her to call me as soon as she could and turned around and headed back home. I started getting my tasks done; packing my bike, got some work done and then went for a swim. Short and easy. I did 500 m at a fair pace but my left calf was feeling a little tight and I was afraid it might cramp so I stopped and got a pull buoy so I wouldn't have to kick anymore. I did another 500 m and man I was fast. I wish I could use a pull buoy during the race. After the swim more tasks; I went for a haircut, repaired my wetsuit, wrote out my notes and packed my luggage. So the training is done, my tapering is done and all that's left is a quick run and cycle on Friday and the race on Saturday. I've had a few bumps and obstacles along the way but everything seems to be on track now. Just 3 more sleeps.
