Those two quotes do not say that "every key workout miss is a 1% drop" in fitness. That's certainly not true.
He does say that a "well-designed taper can provide an improvement in race performance of several percent". Focus on THAT (you're getting stronger at this point by doing relatively NOTHING) rather than the false notion that you're dropping 1% fitness when you don't do a 'key workout' .

Here it is. Tomorrow is the race date. The weather will be sunny between 51F to 59F (11C to 15C) in the morning.
I take a day off from work to relax today.
As usual, I had an anxiety dream and probably will have again tonight. Last night I dreamed that I forgot my bib in the car and had to go back to get it and was late, but I won the race with 2:35. I starred at the result and thought that couldn't be true, then I woke up and it was a dream. LOL

So no excuses.
Watch the pace in the first half. Good luck.

Exactly. Just remember banking time is a fools errand.
Aren't anxiety dreams the best? At least in yours, you won the race. Your sub-conscious is definitely ready to race.
Run smart and good luck!

Thanks all. I will bring you all with me and think about you all in the difficult sections.
I am carb loading. So far I had two pieces of whole grain toasts with peanut butter with a glass of orange juice, 3 bananas, hydrating myself all day. Lunch is ready in 30 minutes. All home grown organic turnips, celery, eggplants, onions, zucchinis slow cook with beef and lots of steam rice. That will be my supper as well, then planning a couple of toasts with peanut butter before going to bed and the same with orange juice and banana for tomorrow's breakfast.
Good luck tomorrow David - the conditions look perfect!
