final taper week calendar

Ok BoomKings, after consulting the two different tri training books I've been using as the basis for our training schedule, I think I've cobbled together a reasonable last taper week schedule. It's posted to the google calendar already.

The core of it is three "bricks" of varying intensity on M W F this week. Monday is a short brick that simulates a longer brick by tacking on a Z4 effort at the end of the ride. Wednesday is a "split brick" with a run in the morning and a ride in the afternoon. (Each includes a little RP effort acceleration.) Friday is a teeny tiny brick: a 30' ride in the morning followed by a 15' run.

Tuesday and Thursday are swims. The Tuesday swim is especially important, so don't slack!

We should try to emulate race conditions as much as possible this week, so try getting out there at the appropriate time each day (except Wednesday). Friday we'll probably have to do the tiny brick in the morning in Kapa'au since we'll be dealing with checkin later that day.
