Season Planning

Rich - I just finished watching your season planning webinar.  Very informative.  I'm racing Ironman Austria on June 29th.  I've done four 70.3's in the past, but Ironman Austria will be my first full.  I think I'm going to start my plan October 28th.  I have some 5ks, 10ks, and a half marathon that times up perfectly at the very end of my outseason.  I also have a couple of sprint tri's in March & May.  New Orleans 70.3 is on April 13th.  At first I was thinking about just doing the swim portion, as I need a lot of work on open water/crowded swims.  But now I'm thinking maybe I should just do they entire event.  What do you think; would you do New Orleans 70.3?  Thanks

Coach Rich

You should absolutely race the Half, if you register for it, not just do the swim.

Thanks Rich.  I was considering doing that half as a relay with friends, but I'll definitely do the race fully now.  I'll send over my season planning survey soon.  Thanks again.
