Dan Conway's 2014 Season Roadmap

Hi Rich.  Many thanks for creating the 2014 season plan for me.  It all makes sense and the screencast was a great way to explain your logic.   

There is one event I did not mention in my original inputs as it is not yet completely locked down.    I am considering doing the Houston-Austin MS150 which includes about 200 miles of cycling on the April 12,13 weekend when I travel to visit my Mom and sister.   I would end up leaving Japan around April 7 and returning April 22 or 23.     Unfortunately, the timing coincides with the last week of the OS plan.  How would you suggest modifying the plan to account for that travel window?  Should I get an early start or is there a week I can drop out of the plan?

Two more questions for you:

1. You left the "Kisakata" Oly on the plan.   Should I go ahead and do that race as a C race or just drop it?

2. The Sado IM includes a slightly longer bike at 190km.   Is there anything in the IM plan that needs to be adjusted to account for that, i.e., longer race simulation?

Thanks,

Dan

We can sort that out closer to this event.

    1. You left the "Kisakata" Oly on the plan.   Should I go ahead and do that race as a C race or just drop it? The timing of the race is fine. Up to you if you want to k

    2. The Sado IM includes a slightly longer bike at 190km.   Is there anything in the IM plan that needs to be adjusted to account for that, i.e., longer race simulation? Nope, no changes need for a 118mi vs 112mi bike. 

    Thanks,

    Rich,

    What do you think about racing a half marathon on the Sunday of the 4th week of the Get Faster plan (i.e., May 11 in the season plan you provided)?

    That's fine. Pretty much always good to race a half marathon.
