Final RR, taper, and appendectomy?

Rich,

I'm currently in week 18 IM Intermediate plan preparing for IMAZ.  Coming off some great weeks of training and was looking forward to the final RR (new FTP to try out) and then taper.  On Thursday night of week 17 my appendix decides to throw me a curve ball and I'm in surgery Friday morning.  So missed the week-end rides and will probably miss everything this week, except the RR on Saturday.  Plan on giving it a shot, although not sure if it will be 100%.  Anything I need to do different from the plan over these last 3 weeks to "sharpen the spear" for IMAZ?

Thanks

    Steve,

    So sorry to hear about this complication. I know nothing about what it means to have an appendectomy, how that affects your training, recovery, etc. Bottomline is that your surgery and your doc are your coaches now so please listen to them about what you should or shouldn't do.
