IM Week 18 RR2 and Rain Forecast

Pat Koss

Not panicking, just planning ahead.  Saturday/Sunday Forecast is 60% chance of storms.  Too early to tell if this will be material or what time of day.  Will monitor that later in the week.

Right now the plan is swim 2.4 Friday evening after work (in the increasingly cold 50 meter pool at the club ), then ride Saturday at dawn before any serious storms can build with the hope of getting in as much of the 112/6-hour bike as possible.  Would ride in modest rain, but even that could/would affect pacing and RR2 results -- so it just depends -- safety first.  Not concerned about the run...I actually like running in the rain.

Sunday could be a fall back but the weather forecast is no better and I've missed church too much lately for training.

Any advice?  

I'm guessing if that RR2 is shortened due to weather then just jettison from the schedule and move on to taper -- don't try to do this next weekend, one week out from Beach to Battleship.

@Pat shorten if required. Remember goal of RR #2 is to improve from RR #1....not just another long ride. So review your initial errors and set out to fix them from the start -- test the new tweaks modifications as much as you can!!!! And be safe!!!
