Adjusting LakePlacid plan?

Hi R&P,

I have been looking at this week and next weeks schedule.  Based on the Advanced IM plan, I should be doing a race rehearsal next weekend.  I have another obligation next Saturday that will prevent me from spending that many hours on Saturday.  Unfortunately due to work commitments, I can't attend the Lake Placid training camp this week.  I was wondering if I could execute the training camp schedule at home this weekend which will allow me to still work.  Just as a clarification, are the Friday & Saturday schedules to be treated as race rehearsals?  Should I do both of them?  What's the reason that the training plan only has 1 race rehearsal, but the camp has 2, is there a big reason or is it mostly due to familiarization with the roads?   Thanks for the advice,  Bridget

    Bridget, you can totally duplicate the camp! The point of the camp is, in order:

    (1) Race Simulation on the course. Can't beat it.
    (2) Second ride on the course for fitness, perfect time for this volume.
    (3) Two long rides = insane knowledge of the course.

    So if you are at home, you can RR on Friday, and then go long on Sat for sure...just keep the RR on as "flat" a course as you can find....the goal is to ride steady, not match total elevation gain or anything!!!
