Alex Shapiro training question

runfatboyrun

I was not able to train the last 4 weeks.. Eagleman is one week away. What if anything should I do in the next week.. My mother was in ccu for the last 3 weeks. Training was not an option..

As always your help is greatly appreciated.

Alex.

Alex, holy $hit I hope she is okay. Very sorry to hear that. Your can jump into the plan, getting in a 75' run tomorrow, then a RRswim Friday and RR bike Sat...Sunday off...don't worry about fitness but DO figure out your race plan, etc. That will be critical! Please let me know if you need more help on this: (617) 513-3830 Cell Phone (EST Time)

Coach. Thanks for the quick reply I have decided not proceed with eagleman after all. There are just to many things going on and it will not make an enjoyable race.    The folks at tricolumbia have offered me a chance to sign up for another of their events and reuse my registration funds. I did not qualify for a refund. They have an event on September 21, 2013 Aquabike - 2.4 Mile Swim, 112 Mile Bike.   Do you think this could be counted as a good training day if  my A race is PPD Beach2Battleship Iron Distance on  Saturday, October 26, 2013. Does it make sense to register for this event?   Alex. 

Coach Patrick

@Alex, good call. I think that Aquabike would make for the PERFECT race simulation event as long as it fits in with everything else! Let me know what, if anything, you need help with over the next few weeks...
