Hi Rich,

I am doing IMLP this year, and you have already sent me my season plan.  I had a question for you relative to race rehearsals.  What do you think about me doing the IM aqua bike for the HITS race in Lake George on June 21? I think that this is a week later than the plan would have me doing my race rehearsal, correct?  I would run 6 miles on my own after finishing the bike.  My thinking is that this would give me a great chance to do a supported Race Rehearsal.  Obviously, I would be adding a swim at the beginning from a traditional race rehearsal. 

Let me know what you think,

Mike

    Hey Mike,

    The timing of the event is fine. My only issue, if it were me, would be spending $$$ to do a race race rehearsal, as entry, any travel costs, etc. Are you able to make Patrick's IMLP camp the week before (I think) that Lake George race? If you have the time and the money for the camp (probably less than that HITS race?) that would be a MUCH better experience for you, as a tool for getting dialed into LP.
