Tomorrow - training opinion...

A couple days ago, I posted this in the "i need feedback about this week thread", but I haven't gotten a response.  Opinions?

I have a race rehearsal scheduled for this weekend (i'm doing nola).  Saturday happens to be the same day as the largest 10k in Mississippi, which is also held in my home town.  Obviously, I understand the importance of the race rehearsal, but at the same time I really want to do this 10k.  Would it be ok to switch the race rehearsal to next weekend?  Or maybe not run Friday, but rather do the 10k saturday and the race rehearsal sunday?  Its a tough race, so I'd probably be pretty sore afterwards though, so I don't know....

 

Thanks for any input.

    My gut reaction is to tell you to skip the 10K. But before I jump to that conclusion- a few questions. When is NOLA? Pardon my ignorance, but is that a Half IM or an IM? And is this your first or second race rehearsal?

    If it is your first RR, fine to skip it, move it around, etc.

    If it is your second and final RR, recommend you don't move it any closer to the race, on the calendar. Ok to do it earlier. Not a good idea to skip the RR in favor of the 10k

    It is my first RR. Nola is a 70.3 - april 19. Still playing it by ear. Thanks for the responses.
