Better for me to not go crazy from not working out hard enough ....
Yesterday I wanted to go for a good long run (~50 minutes). It was hot and humid but a little overcast so no problem. Headed south on the TT, got about 15 minutes out and had a little nagging tightness in the knee, more in the quad muscle than the knee. So I stopped and stretched it out a little and thought I could keep going. But it kept bothering me. So I turned around at about 17 minutes. I rarely cut a workout short, but I really would hate to jeopardize what should be the easiest part of a tri for me.
Later I massaged out my quadriceps, the left was a little knotted up.
Today, I worked out in the air-conditioned comfort of the gym. 30 minutes on the elliptical. Felt a little strange as I have not ellipticaled in months. But I got to listen to my ipod, which I haven't done in months either. And I knew I would do a nice long stretch afterwards.
Then to Pizza 51 for a veggie delight slice. Lots of spinach and broccoli!

Well, I fully belive in the taper. Although, I might be taking it too seriously!
