What race is it? Unless you really really want to PR, or there is a decent amount of prize money, and you know 15 seconds will make a difference of a few hundred dollars, I would recommend training through your races. You will eventually start running them faster untapered compared to what you would have done had you tapered for everyone of them. Plus, learning to race on tired legs is great practice for the marathon.
Once again, good advice Sasha. I'll give it a try. I already know I'm not going to win, so I just as well keep training.
