Help me select my September Race!
So I am between Ironman races and hope to do more quality and less volume for Cozumel than I did for Sweden. Because I was hurt in the Spring, I have lots of mojo left and want to race. I want to do one of the following on Sunday, Sep 22. Which is better training for IM Cozumel and why?
Paradise Coast International - Naples, FL. Swim a single 1500m loop in a pond, out and back 25 miles through the burbs, and an out and back 10K. All FLAT.
Powerman Florida - a 10K-40mile-10K duathlon in Jupiter, FL. FLAT. 10K runs are done on the Palm Beach International Raceway. E.g., 3 loops of the race course in front of the family. Never out of sight. No trees either, so no place to hide from the sun.

Simple question: Are you a triathlete, or a duathlete? And if it's the latter, what are you doing in Kalmar and Cozumel?
1. Powerman will give me more volume for the day than an olympic triathlon.
2. Powerman FL qualifies for Powerman Zofingen in 2014. Not sure I would go due to other schedule coflicts but it would be a good scouting mission for Swissman.3.
3. Didn't Mark Allen do Powerman Zofingen? Didn't you do American Zofingen? Aren't both of you triathletes?
Truth be told, when I was dying on the run in Kalmar, bagging Swissman crossed my mind!
Yes, AmZof was sort of a bucket lister, to honor the fallen and passed on athletes I've known.
