RE: [peoriatriathlonclub] Q for HIM vets

You've gotten some good advice.  I agree with the consensus that you should do Evergreen, but at your HIM pace.  Then enjoy the day with your fellow Tri-P's!

Subject: [peoriatriathlonclub] Q for HIM vets



Ok, so the last race I was planning on doing prior to my 70.3 debut at Steelhead was the Decatur tri (just under Olympic distance) on July 5th.  It's looking like that may not work out, so I was wondering for you 70.3 vets out there, whether you think racing Evergreen on July 18th would be too close to my 70.3 race (August 1st).  That gives me 2 full weeks in between.  Judging by how I felt after the Olympic I raced last weekend, that would be enough time, but I've got a friend whose coach advises no races within 4 weeks of your 70.3 race.  Just looking for other opinions out there.

Thanks,
Lindsay

It just depends on what you are trying to accomplish at the 70.3. Some of us race the week before doing a sprint or even a half marathon. If it is your A...

Hmmm..maybe I have the same coach as your friend. :) It depends on how you want to do at the 70.3. If you decide to do both I would take it easy at...

I think the first question you have to ask yourself is: What are your objectives for your 70.3 debut?  Since it is your first HIM, do you want to just finish...

As Carey says, you should decide on the importance of the events, and pick one of the races to be the A race. That would probably be the 70.3. A races get...

Lindsay, I did Elmwood (a sprint) a week before I did Steelhead in 2006. Now I could attribute my lackluster performance at the HIM to the race a week before,...
