When A race is a Saturday vs Sunday

My A race is a Saturday, and in Europe which really means Friday evening on my real life schedule. I have figured out how I will address race week given the travel and such. However, I am wondering whether there is any merit in moving the weeknd before Saturday bike to like Friday.

Any thoughts/experience out there?

    I've got an A race this coming Saturday. What I did was skip the rest day in my plan which had been written in for last Sunday, and moved everything forward one day for the final week.

    My IM in Kalmar this summer is a Saturday race. That really doesn't impact my plan much. This year I'm going to follow a 1 week drop-taper instead of a graduated 3 week taper. I.e., I will not reduce my training schedule too much until that last week when it's going to basically fall off the map. I did that once accidentally and it went well. So the Saturday before will be a moderate distance ride + swim + run. Sunday I'll bike-swim-run short amounts and then catch a mid-afternoon flight leaving for Copenhagen and I will do very, very little Mon through Fri. Just some jogging Mon-Wed, and short bike rides + swims on Thu/Fri.
