Hi Coach R:

I am currently on week 12 of the 20 week Beginner Ironman Plan; end date of March 1, 2014.  I have a work trip scheduled which will impact my first Race Rehearsal (on January 25th).  My option is to do it on January 11 or 12th or to do it on February 1st.  My second Race Rehearsal is scheduled for February 15.

Questions:

1. Which is the better date to do Race Rehearsal #1?

2. How should I re-organize my workouts to accomodate the change in scheduling for Race Rehearsal #1?

Thank you.

The date of the first RR isn't very important so just pick the date that works best with your work/travel schedule. No big changes required. Just on the week that you decide to do RR#1:

• Do the RR in place of the schedule long bike that week.
• Take Sunday off.
• Rest of the week stays the same.

Thanks!  New Zeland should be worth the pain of training through winter and the holidays!
