Ivan Herrera's Macro Thread

Hi Rich, I'm officially a EN Member , so I'm adding my Macro Thread topic

Thank you for the Season Road Map and screencast. (http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cIXh0eVNte) 

I choose the Bike Focused plan and I'm starting week 5. 

In the Screencast you didn't mention the HIM race during the IM preparation. Do you think this race is a good idea? I added this race to the season planning survey as a preparation for the IM. But after reading the Race Rehearsal Protocol in the wiki I found that a RR needs to duplicate the expected duration (time) of the goal race (IM). 

Let me know if I need to erase this race of the calendar. I can concentrate better for the IM plan and save money to buy me a powermeter!!!!  Thanks again.

The timing of the HIM is fine but I want you to race it, as an HIM, vs as an IM race rehearsal.
